3-8. FILTERING OF
SHORTENING
(Continued)
5. When all of the shortening has drained, scrape or brush the sides
and the bottom of the frypot.
6. Rinse the frypot as follows:
a. Close the drain valve.
b. Open the filter valve.
c. Lower lid and hold closed.
d. Move the main power switch to the PUMP position. Carefully
open the lid to see if the shortening is returning properly. Fill
frypot 1/3 full, then turn off pump.
FAILURE TO HOLD THE LID CLOSED SO THAT
THE FIRST SURGE OF THE RETURNING SHORT-
ENING WILL NOT SPLASH OUT OF THE FRYPOT,
WILL RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
IF THERE ARE AIR BUBBLES COMING UP IN THE
SHORTENING, IT’S POSSIBLE THAT THE FILTER
CONNECTION AT THE UNION ON THE FILTER
TUBE IS NOT TIGHTENED PROPERLY. IF SO,
TURN OFF THE PUMP AND USE PROTECTIVE
CLOTH OR GLOVE WHEN TIGHTENING THE
UNION. THIS UNION WILL BE HOT AND SEVERE
BURNS COULD RESULT.
e. Wash down and scrub the sides of the frypot. Use “L” brush to
clean the heating elements.
f. After the sides and bottom are cleaned, open the
drain valve.
7. If an optional filter rinse hose is available on your fryer, the
following cleaning procedure may be used.
a. Attach the filter rinse hose with its quick disconnect fitting
to the male fitting inside the door next to the filter valve handle.
To do this, slide back the spring ring on the female side of the
quick disconnect fitting and let it snap into place over the male
half of the fitting.
