Battery Interplumbing (Available Only on Filter-In-A-Drawer Models)
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 are covered in a separate manual. Follow the instructions.
Filtering Procedures (Non-Filter-Ready Fryers)
1. Shut down the fryer.
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
section in this manual 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 section in this manual.
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.
DRAIN INTERLOCK (HGD and HGC Series)
Prevents the burners from operating when the drain valve is open.
SHORTENING LIFE (All Models)
Shortening life can be extended by following these guidelines:
• Do not salt foods over the fryer.
• Use good quality shortening.
• Filter shortening daily (at a minimum).
• Replace shortening if it becomes poorly flavored.
• Keep equipment and surroundings clean.
• Remove excess moisture and particles from food products before placing in fryer.
