3-8. FILTERING OF
SHORTENING
Frying breaded food requires frequent filtering. Watch the shortening
for foaming during frying cycles. Discard the shortening as soon as it
shows signs of foaming.
Clean the frypot as follows each time the shortening is changed or
filtered:
1. Turn main power switch to the OFF position. Remove and clean
the fry basket in soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.
The best results are obtained when the shortening is filtered at
normal frying temperature.
2. Use a metal spatula to scrape any build-up from the sides of
the frypot. Do not scrape heating element on electric units,
or the curved portion of the gas frypot.
Scraping the electric fryer elements, or the curved portion
of the gas frypot, produces scratches in these surfaces
causing breading to stick and burn.
Do not bang the pot scraper, or other cleaning utensil, on
the frypot rim. Damage to the frypot rim could result and
the lid may not seal properly during a cook cycle.
The filter drain pan must be as far back under fryer as
it will go, and the cover in place. Be sure the hole in the
cover lines up with the drain before opening the drain.
Failure to follow these instructions causes splashing of
shortening and could result in personal injury.
Surfaces of fryer and basket will be hot. Use care when
filtering to avoid getting burned.
3. Open the drain valve very slowly, half a turn at first and then
slowly to the full open position. This will prevent excessive
splashing of the hot shortening as it drains into the filter drain pan.
4. As the shortening drains from the frypot, use fryer brushes
(Henny Penny part number 12105 includes both brushes) to
clean the side of the frypot and the heating elements (if electric
unit). If the drain fills with breading, use the white brush to push
the breading into the filter pan.
