Gas Auto-Lift Fryer Maintenance

Filtering Procedure
Breaded foods require frequent filtering. An excess amount of breading left in the fryer pot will reduce the life of
the shortening. We recommend the shortening be filtered after every three frying cycle loads. If the shortening
starts to show signs of foaming or has a bad taste, do not use it. The fryer pot should be cleaned before refilling
with new shortening. Best results for filtering are obtained while the shortening is hot. You should filter at the end
of every business day. (If the filer pump overheats and you get a
Pump Too Hot , see the Filter Pump Reset
instructions in the Troubleshooting section.)
If Filter Lockout is ON, then once the value has been reached the following screen will appear and filtering will be
required.
Always wear appropriate personal protection equipment during the filtering
process to guard against possible injury from hot oil.
Do not open the drain valve or the fill valve while the fryer is under pressure.
Serious burns may result.
1. Remove the fryer basket.
2. Make certain that the filter pad is clean and not torn.
IMPORTANT: Make certain the vat cover is properly positioned underneath the drain valve. Also make
certain the filter vat and filter screen is under the main drain valve before starting
3. To get to the filter menu, press the back button .
