The charcoal used in the charcoal filter is coconut-activated charcoal, 4" x 8" mesh. Approximately
9 pounds (4 kg) is required to refill the filter. Recommended replacement schedule is approximately
once every 4 months of normal use.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: THE PRESSURE FRYER AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN
OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING THE PRESSURE FRYER.
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND PLACE A TAG AT THE DISCONNECT
SWITCH TO INDICATE YOU ARE WORKING ON THE CIRCUIT BEFORE SERVICING THE PRESSURE
FRYER.
O-RING SEAL REPLACEMENTS
Removal and replacement instructions for the lid O-Ring are described in WEEKLY CLEANING —
KETTLE TILT LID (page 24).
The O-Ring seals on the kettle pressure-relief valve assembly (see Fig. 28) need to be replaced if oil
is leaking from the kettle lid. If steam leaks around the kettle pressure-relief valve O-Rings and goes
into the exhaust tank, pressure will not build in the kettle. Dip the new O-Rings in cooking oil for
lubrication and insert them into the pressure-relief valve assembly.
The O-Ring seal on the clean-out port thumb screw (see Fig. 28) needs to be replaced if liquid is leaking
around the screw.
