Filter-Ready Models (Using Mobile Filter HMF50 or HMF85 Only)
For filtering instructions of the filter-ready fryers, refer to the Installation and Operation Manual. This
manual is supplied with each mobile filter system. Check tank vessel or accessory shipment box for
manual. If manual is not found, contact your local Hobart Office to obtain the manual before operating
the filter system.
Make sure you use the mobile filter with the correct-size tank to hold the quantity of shortening to be
filtered.
Filtering Procedures (Non-Filter-Ready Fryers)
1. Turn fryer off.
2. Slowly remove basket(s).
3. Open fryer door and attach the drain pipe to the drain valve.
4. Select a container that will hold all the liquefied shortening and place it below the drain pipe.
5. If using a filter bag, tie it securely to the drain pipe. If a different filter medium is used, place it in
the container.
6. Open drain valve carefully so the oil stream is directed through the filter. See Filtering Guidelines
on page 18 for draining tips.
7. Flush out scraps and sediment in the fry tank with a small amount of warm shortening.
8. Drain the tank thoroughly and wipe clean.
9. Should it be necessary to clean the tank more thoroughly, see Cleaning on page 20.
10. Close the drain valve.
11. Pour the filtered shortening back into the fry tank.
12. Shortening level should be between the MIN and MAX lines.
Battery Interplumbing (Filter-In-A-Drawer Interplumbed Models Only)
A battery of fryers equipped with optional interplumbing connects the fry tanks to a common drain. Each
tank has an individual drain valve. Only one tank can be filtered at a time. Instructions for the Filter-In-
A-Drawer filtering system are covered in a separate manual. Follow the instructions.
