3. Then in reverse order, place the metal filter screen in the center of the bottom of the pan, then lay
a filter pad over the screen, ensuring that the rough side of the pad is up. Make sure that the pad
is in between the embossed ridges of the filter pan. Then position the hold down ring on top of
the pad. If using filter paper, lay a sheet of filter paper over the top of the pan overlapping on all
sides. Position the hold down ring over the filter paper and lower the ring into the pan, allowing
the paper to fold up and around the ring as it is pushed to the bottom of the pan. Then sprinkle 1
packet (8-ounces) of filter powder over the filter paper.

DO NOT USE FILTER POWDER WITH THE PAD!
5. Push the filter pan back into the fryer, positioning it under the fryer. The filtration system is now

4.3 Operation of the Filter
DANGER
Draining and filtering of oil must be accomplished with care to avoid the possibility
of a serious burn caused by careless handling. The oil to be filtered is at or near
350°F (177°C). Ensure drain handles are in their proper position before operating
any switches or valves. Wear all appropriate safety equipment when draining and
filtering oil.
DANGER
NEVER attempt to drain oil from the fryer with the elements energized! Doing so will
cause irreparable damage to the elements and may cause a flash fire. Doing so will
also void the Frymaster warranty.
1. Turn the fryer power OFF. Drain the frypot into the filter pan. If necessary, use the Fryer's
Friend clean-out rod to clear the drain from inside the frypot.
Open the drain valves on the frypot
and drain the oil into the filter pan.
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.
Open drain valves
by rotating 90º.
