DANGER
THE ON-SITE SUPERVISOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT OPERATORS
ARE MADE AWARE OF THE INHERENT DANGERS OF OPERATING A HOT OIL
FILTER SYSTEM, PARTICULARLY ASPECTS OF OIL FILTRATION, DRAINING, AND
CLEANING OF THE FILTER.
1. Assemble tools to be used for filtering. These are supplied with the filter starter kit:
• Brush - used to clean the frypot while filtering.
• Clean-Out Rod - long rod used to dislodge debris in the drain valve.
• Magnasol XL Filter Powder.
• Magnasol Magnum Leaf Filter Assembly
WARNING
USE ONLY MAGNASOL FILTER POWDER FOR BEST RESULTS. USE OF NON-
APPROVED POWDER CAN CAUSE SYSTEM DAMAGE AND PREMATURE PUMP
FAILURE.
NOTE: The following tools are not required, but are recommended to make filtering easier.
• Measuring Cup – used to measure filter powder.
• Stainless Steel Crumb Scoop – for removing debris from the cooking oil or shortening
prior to filtering.
NOTE: Always wear proper protective clothing when working with hot oil.
2. Pull the filter pan out from fryer cabinet and remove the lid, crumb pan, and leaf filter assembly.
3. Clean the filter pan thoroughly and ensure all components are completely dry.
4. Disassemble and clean the leaf filter assembly. Refer to Section 4.4 for specific disassembly and
cleaning instructions.
5. Turn the fryer OFF and allow the oil to cool for a minimum of 10 minutes before draining oil
into filter pan. Immediately before draining, stir the oil in the frypot using the brush.
6. Open the frypot drain valve and drain the oil from ONE FRYPOT ONLY into the filter pan.
Continue stirring the oil as the oil drains. Brush down frypot sides to remove any debris. Use
the clean-out rod to clear the drain valve if necessary
.
7. When the frypot is empty, open the oil return valve by turning the smaller red handle located
under the control panel of the fryer. Move the handle from left to right to open the oil return
line. The filter pump will activate
