CHAPTER 4: BUILT-IN FILTRATION
4-2
4.2 Daily Filtration Operation
WARNING
Use caution and wear proper protective clothing. The oil to be filtered is at or near
350°F (177°C). Ensure all hoses are connected properly and drain handles are in
their proper position prior to operating any switches or valves. Failure to do this can
result in severe burns.
WARNING
Drawings and photos used in this manual are intended to illustrate operational,
cleaning and technical procedures and may not conform to on-site management
operational procedures.
4.2.1 General Overview
The filter pump is turned on only after the oil is brought to operating temperature and drained into
the prepared filter pan. The filter motor is then engaged and oil is drawn through filter paper and
pumped back into the frypot. The frypot drain valve remains open during the filtering process.
Allow the oil to cycle through the filter paper for approximately 5 minutes. At the end of 5 minutes,
close the drain valve and allow the pump to fill the frypot to the bottom OIL LEVEL line. Leave the
pump running for ten to fifteen seconds after bubbles appear in the frypot to ensure all oil is pumped
from the drain pan and the lines.
4.2.2 Filtering Tools
Assemble tools to be used for filtering. These are supplied with the filter starter kit included with
the fryer/filter system:
• Frypot/Filter Brush - used to clean frypot and filter pan sides and bottom, heating elements,
and to dislodge sediment during filtration or oil change.
• Clean-Out Rod (design may vary)- used to dislodge heavy debris in the drain tube (when
needed).
• Filter Powder.
• Filter Paper.
