FRYMASTER FPD65 SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 5: FILTRATION OPERATION
5-10
5.4.1 Filter Operation (cont.)
14. OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT: Drain-flushes
are included on 5-battery and larger
Frymaster FPD65 Series fryers. After
filtering frypot farthest from the filter system
for 10 minutes, close the oil return valve to
stop the filtering process. Do not refill the
frypot. Close the drain valve (red handle) on
the frypot being filtered. Ensure all other
valves (red and yellow handles) are closed.
Pull the blue handle to open the flush valve
(6-battery systems have two). After the drain
line is clear of sediment (approximately 2
minutes), push the blue handle to close flush
valve. Open the oil-return valve (yellow
handle) to refill the frypot.
15. OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT: Shortening
Disposal: Follow store procedures when
disposing of spent shortening. Ensure the
Shortening Disposal System is properly
connected and working properly before
proceeding. Turn the blue handle on the
wand/dispose valve to "DISPOSE" to start
the disposal process. Turn the blue handle to
"OFF" when the disposal process for that
frypot is complete.
DANGER
The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a
fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles
can spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.
WARNING
Do not bang fry baskets or other utensils on the fryer’s joiner strip. The strip is
present to seal the joint between the frypots. Banging fry baskets on the strip to
dislodge shortening will distort the strip, adversely affecting its fit. It is designed for
a tight fit and should only be removed for cleaning.
