4.2.3 Operating the Filter Unit
CAUTION
Never operate the filter unit unless the cooking oil/shortening is at operating
temperature.
1. To filter the cooking oil, turn the fryer power
OFF, then open the drain valve on the fryer
you have selected to filter.
2. Use the steel clean-out rod to clear the drain from inside the frypot as necessary.
DANGER
Do not drain more than one frypot at a time into the built-in filtration unit to avoid
overflow and spillage of hot oil/shortening.
DANGER
NEVER attempt to clear a clogged drain valve from the front of the valve! Hot oil or
shortening will rush out creating the potential for severe burns. DO NOT hammer on
the drain valve with the cleanout rod or other objects. Damage to the ball inside will
result in leaks and will void the Frymaster warranty.
3. Snap the Power Shower into the frypot.
DANGER
DO NOT operate the filter without the Power Shower in place. Hot oil will spray out
of the fryer and cause injury.
