WARNING
Do not use a plastic container. Hot
shortening could melt the container.
Operation
1. Compress the bulb quickly and release it
quickly. Do this only once. Shortening
should flow into the container.
CAUTION
Do not compress the bulb more than once.
Doing so could allow hot shortening to get
into the bulb, damaging your equipment.
2. Watch the container as the shortening flows
into it. If the shortening rises to within 2”/
5 cm of the top of the container, do the
following:
a. With one hand, hold the siphon by the
handle. With the other hand, loosen the
thumb screw that holds the siphon
assembly to the mounting bracket on the
lip of the kettle.
b. Slowly lift the siphon assembly so its
opening is above the shortening. Do not
remove it from the mounting bracket.
c. Tighten the thumb screw.
d. When the shortening stops flowing and
the valve closes, move the container out
from under the filter.
e. Place another five-gallon metal container
under the filter.
f. With one hand, hold the siphon by the
handle. With the other hand, loosen the
thumb screw that holds the siphon
assembly to the mounting bracket on the
lip of the kettle.
g. Slowly lower the siphon assembly so its
opening is near the bottom of the kettle.
h. Tighten the thumb screw.
i. Restart the siphon, as explained in
step 1.
j. Continue watching the container and
repeat the above procedure as needed.
WARNING
If you allow shortening to overflow the
container, the shortening could burn you,
and it will get on the floor, possibly causing
slips, falls, injury, or even death. If
shortening does get on the floor, thoroughly
clean and dry the floor right away.
3. When the shortening stops flowing, tilt up
the side of the kettle opposite the siphon.
Place a wedge under the side of the kettle to
hold it up. The remaining shortening will
now flow toward the siphon.
4. Set aside the container of shortening.
5. Remove the filter assembly.
6. Place a different container under the valve
assembly and start the siphon again. Drain
the remaining shortening and discard it; it
will be full of sediment.
Cleaning
1. Remove the siphon from the Donut Robot.
2. Squeeze the bulb several times to expel
shortening from the siphon.
3. Wipe the siphon clean and hang it with the
bulb side up so any remaining shortening
will drain. Place a pan under the siphon to
collect the shortening.
4. Rinse the filter bag and hang it to dry. You
may launder it as needed.
WARNING
After washing, be sure the Filter Flo
Siphon is completely dry before using it
again. Moisture will cause hot shortening
to spatter, which may cause serious injury.
