CHAPTER 4: FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 Introduction
The FootPrint Pro filtration system allows the cooking oil or shortening in one frypot to be safely
and efficiently filtered while the other frypots in a battery remain in operation. Section 4.2 covers
preparation of the filter system for use. Operation of the system is covered in section 4.3.
WARNING
The work center supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made
aware of the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the
aspects of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.
4.2 Preparing the Filter for Use
1. Rotate the pan-locking rod to either side
until it clears the filter pan, then pull the
pan out from the cabinet. Remove the
crumb tray, hold-down ring and filter
screen. Clean all components with a
solution of detergent and hot water, then
dry thoroughly.
The filter pan is equipped with rollers in
rails, much like a kitchen drawer. The
pan may be removed for cleaning or to
gain access to interior components by
lifting the front of the pan to disengage
the front rollers, then pulling it forward
until the rear rollers clear the rails. The
pan cover must not be removed except
for cleaning, interior access, or to allow
a shortening disposal unit (SDU) to be
positioned under the drain.
Rotate the locking rod
to either side to allow
the pan to be pulled
out from the fryer.
2. Inspect the filter pan connection fitting
to ensure that both o-rings are in good
condition. On the FPH117 fryers the o-
rings are located on the tube spout
behind the filter pan at the rear of the
fryer. O-rings on fryers having more
than one battery are located on the tube
disconnect inside the fryer as shown to
the right.
