4.5.4 Return Lines (cont.)
To prevent plugged lines when using solid shortening, adhere to the following:
ø
If the filter is equipped with a pan heater, use it each time a fryer is filtered.
ø
Allow the pump to run for 15-20 seconds after air starts to flow through the lines (or flexible
hose), before shutting off the filter. Clearing residual shortening/oil from the return lines
reduces the likelihood of clogged lines.
ø
When the filtering cycle is complete, disconnect the flexible line and hang it up to drain.
