EXTENDED SHUTDOWN
1. Thoroughly drain the fryer. Refer to DRAINING THE FRYER.

FILTERING THE OIL
Hot oil and hot parts can cause burns. Use care when operating,
cleaning, and servicing the fryer.
Filter shortening at least once a day.
1. Do NOT turn off the power to the fryer. Leave power on.
2. Insert the drain extension into the drain valve. Tighten only hand tight.
3. Direct the drain extension into the mobile filtering device that you want to use.
4. A cold fryer will not drain properly. Always filter shortening between 250°F
and 350°F. The shortening in the cold zone area will remain hard if the heat is only on for
a few minutes. If necessary, use the clean-out rod to carefully move the hard shortening
to an area above the cold zone where it will melt.
5. Use the provided crumb scoop to remove the heavy debris lying on the bottom of the tank.
6. Slowly open the drain valve to allow oil to flow from the fry tank to the filter pan. Then open
the drain valve all the way. Please note the gas burners will automatically turn off at this
point and DRAINING will appear on the digital display for solid state models and
DRAINING OIL will display on computer models.
7. When fry tank is empty use the tank brush to remove any additional debris.
8. Close the drain valve. The display will change to; FILL TANK for solid state models and
FILL TANK for computer models.
9. Fill tank with new shortening. Fill to a minimum of the MIN level but no high that halfway
between MIN and MAX. Oil will expand as it is heated.
10. Press the Temp button on the display. The display will ask if the tank is full;
TANK FULL
11. Press the TEMP button on the display a second time to confirm that the oil level is correct
in the fry tank. Once pressed, the gas burners will ignite and begin heating the oil to
desired temperature.
