B. Attempting to filter with oil or
shortening that is not hot enough.
B. In order to properly filter, the
oil or shortening should be at
or near 350ºF (177ºC). At
temperatures lower than this,
the oil/shortening becomes too
thick to pass through the filter
medium easily, resulting in
much slower oil return and
eventual overheating of the
filter pump motor. Make sure
oil/shortening is at or near
frying temperature before
draining oil into filter pan.
A. Missing or worn Power Shower
gasket.
A. Verify that the gasket is present
and in good condition.
Power Shower not
spraying properly. B. Clogged openings in Power
Shower frame.
B. If the Power Shower is not
cleaned on a routine basis,
sediment will eventually block
the small holes around the edges
of the frame. Also, when using
solid shortening, if the Power
Shower is not allowed to drain
completely, the shortening will
solidify in the holes and may fill
the frame. Completely drain the
Power Shower after each
filtering and clean regularly in
accordance with the instructions
in Chapter 5 of this manual.
