A. PREPARING THE PORTABLE FILTER
1. Remove screen from over tubes/element with tongs or a Drain Clean Out
Rod (See Figure 1.1).
SCREEN OVER TUBES/ ELEMENTS WILL BE VERY HOT AND
SHOULD BE MOVED TO A SAFE PLACE.
2. Heat fryers to 325°F. Stir oil thoroughly until all water is removed and
shut fryer off (including pilot light) before filtering. (Figure 1.2)
NOTE: Water settles in the cooler oil in the Cold Zone. If the water is not
removed, the filter paper absorbs the water preventing the oil from
passing through it.
OIL IS HOT. USE CARE WHEN FILTERING.
3. Place in clean filter tub (See Figure 1.3):
1st: Filter Screen
2nd: Filter Paper (new sheet for each fryer)
3rd: Hold down ring
4th: Secure hold down ring at each corner with “T” rod handles
5th: Acidox filter powder (new powder for each fryer)
6th: Strainer basket
NOTE: Hold down ring makes a gasket-like seal on filter paper. Filter paper
must be placed edge to edge from front to back, overlapping on
sides. Filter Paper must be smooth and flat under hold down ring to
get a proper seal. Lock the two tension arms into place by pushing
down and rotating 90°.
NOTE: One package of Acidox is needed for every 40 pounds of oil.
B. FILTRATION
1. Place filter under fryer drain. Screw drain extension tube in to drain valve
if desired. Open main drain valve and let oil flow completely into filter
(See Figure 2.1).
2. Turn on pump and flush all crumbs from bottom of fryer into filter. Flush
out fryer completely (See Figure 2.2).
3. Close fryer drain valve (See Figure 2.3).
4. Clean fryer vessel with non-abrasive scrub pad & Keating Klenzer.
5. Fill fryer with filtered oil by turning on pump and directing end of wand
into vessel (See Figure 2.4).
NOTE: Filters with two-way pump - do NOT place wand in cold zone
of fryer pot as it may pick up crumbs & other debris and excessively
clog filter paper.
