4. Open the oil return valve by turning the smaller red handle located under the control panel of
the fryer. Move the handle left to right to open the oil return line. This will activate the filter
pump also.
5. If the circuit breaker kicks out, this often means that there is an obstruction in the oil return
lines.
Note: The filter circuit is protected by a 5-amp circuit breaker located under the control
panel of the filter cabinet. If the circuit breaker trips, the filter pump will stop,
manually reset breaker, and continue.
6. Polishing: If desired, the oil can be polished. Leave the fryer drain valve open for
approximately 5 minutes and allow the oil to circulate from the frypot into the filter and
return to the frypot several times before closing the drain valve. The circulating oil will be
cleansed repeatedly and polished by the micro filtering powder. Polishing extends oil life and
improves cooking flavor.
7. Close the fryer drain valve. To close the flatbottom frypot drain valve, turn the large red
drain handle from the 6:00 o'clock position to the 9:00 o'clock position. The frypot will
begin to fill up with filtered oil.
Note: After filtering it may be necessary to discard filter paper before filtering another fryer.
Replace filter paper when it becomes dark or scuffed in appearance or if refill time
becomes extended.
8. Allow the filter to pump bubbles into the fryer for
approximately 10-15 seconds to ensure the
evacuation of all oil from the filter pan and the oil
return lines.
9. Turn the filter off by turning the oil return handle
from right to left. This closes the oil return line to
the filtered frypot and shuts down the filter pump
motor.
