FILTER PROCEDURES FOR
FLAT PAPER FILTER SYSTEMS
NOTE
When working with hot oil ALWAYS wear oil
proof, insulated gloves.
WARNING
NEVER - Run the filter system without a filter
bag/paper.
NEVER - Empty the oil from the fryer before
turning OFF the fryer burners.
NEVER - Store the Filter Unit anywhere other
than in the fryer filter cavity.
a. Slide the filter pan out. Carefully remove
filtered residue off the filter media. Examine
the filter media for clogged or torn areas.
Refer to filter media replacement instructions
following this section. Reinstall the pan.
b. Turn the fryer that is to be filtered OFF (See
Standby Shutdown). Remove the baskets
from the fryer tank(s). Use the clean out
brush to lift out the tube screens.
c. Check the pickup tube screen by unscrewing
the cap counterclockwise. Any debris should
be cleaned from the screen before using the
filter system. Reinstall the screen by scewing
the cap back on clockwise. Do not over-
tighten.
c. Slowly open the green handled drain valve
for the tank being filtered. If necessary use
the clean-brush to clear the crumbs from the
drain. Use the brush to clean the sides of the
tank as the oil drains.
WARNING
This filter pan is only large enough to hold the
contents of one (1) tank at once, during the
filter process.
e. When the tank is empty, close the green
handled drain valve. Open the red handled
return valve to the tank you are filtering.
This will start the pump and return the oil to
the bottom of the fry tank.
f. When bubbles are seen coming out of the oil
return spout, close the red handled valve to
turn the pump off.
If necessary add more oil to the tank to return
the oil level to the fill mark. The fryer is
now ready for use.
DRAINING A TANK
The filter system is also used to drain the fryers. You
will need a container capable of holding 400
0
F oil and
protective gloves.
a. Rotate the drain down spout so that it ex-
tends in the container that you want to drain
the shortening into.
b. Open the green handled drain valve for the
tank to be drained. The oil will drain into the
container you have chosen. When the con-
tainer is full or the fry tank is empty, close
the green handled drain valve. If the con-
tainer was full repeat this step until fryer tank
is empty.
c. Once tank is completely empty add new
shortenning and follow fryer start up proce-
dures.
WARNING
The power supply must be disconnected before
servicing or cleaning the appliance.
