7. Turn the right filter valve handle counterclockwise to open the filter
valve (handle pointed horizontally). Turn COOK/PUMP switch to
PUMP and pump all peanut oil out of the filter drain pan and back
into frypot, holding the lid closed for the first surge of peanut oil.
8. When the pump begins creating air bubbles in the peanut oil, all of
the peanut oil should be out of drain pan. First, turn the right filter
valve handle clockwise to close the filter valve (handle pointed
up). Then turn the COOK/PUMP switch to OFF. This keeps the
filter pump and lines from filling with peanut oil.
When air bubbles appear in peanut oil, immediately close the
filter valve. This will prevent aeration of the shortening, therefore
increasing shortening life.
9. After completing the filtering operation, empty and replace the
condensation drain pan.
10. If frying is to be continued, turn the COOK/PUMP switch to
COOK and allow peanut oil to heat until lights.
The following steps will help prevent filter pump problems.
1. Make certain the filter paper envelope is properly installed over
the filter screens. Make sure the open end of the envelope is
properly folded and clamped in place with the retaining clips so
crumbs cannot enter the envelope. See Changing the Filter
Envelope Section.
2. The filter valve is to be closed at all times during frying.
3. Make sure all peanut oil has been pumped from the filter lines and
the pump by allowing the filter pump motor to run until air bubbles
appear in the peanut oil.
