2.7 SHORTENING FILTER PROCEDURES
This section describes the procedures used to filter fryers using either the UFM or built in filter units.
Figure 2-1 shows the locations of the components used in the filter process. The fryer in Figure 2-1
is a UFM filtered unit. The callouts in the figure point to the components discussed in the filter
procedure. These component locations should be representative of either filter system. Figure 2-2
shows the filter accessories and tools you should have to perform normal filtering operations. The
components and accessories are described after Figure 2-2. The illustrations used with the filter
procedures are provided to show where the oil is going and which valves are open. Frequent filtering
of your shortening will prolong the shortening's usable life. Daily shortening filtering is strongly
recommended.
