Built-In Filtration System
● Inspect all oil-return and drain lines for leaks and verify that all connections are tight.
● Inspect the filter pan for leaks and cleanliness. If there is a large accumulation of crumbs in the
crumb basket, advise the owner/operator that the crumb basket should be emptied into a fireproof
container and cleaned daily.
● Verify that all O-rings and seals are present and in good condition. Replace O-rings and seals if
worn or damaged.
● Check filtration system integrity as follows:
− Verify that filter pan cover is present and properly installed.
− With the filter pan empty, place each vat into fill vat from drain pan selection, one at a time.
Verify proper functioning of each oil return valve by activating the filter pump using the return to
pan selection. Verify that the pump activates and that bubbles appear in the cooking oil of the
associated frypot.
− Verify that the filter pan is properly prepared for filtering with a clean filter pad, then drain a
frypot of oil heated to 350°F (177°C) into the filter pan by using the drain to pan selection (see
page 4-20). Now using the fill vat from drain pan selection (see page 4-21), allow all oil to return
to the frypot (indicated by bubbles in the cooking oil). Press the check button when all oil is
returned. The frypot should have refilled in approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
