If filter is equipped to filter solid shortening, the "On-Off" switch will be a three-position switch
labeled "Pump/Off/Heat". The "Pump" position is used to operate the filter. The "Heat" position is
used to melt residual shortening from previous filter operations. Do not attempt to melt a block of
solid shortening with the filter heater. Damage to the heating elements will occur.
DANGER
EXTREME BURN HAZARDS
The temperature of oil to be filtered should be approximately 350°F (175
°
C). When
using flexible return hoses, hold the outlet nozzle securely in the frying vessel or
filter pan at all times before operating power switches or valves. Failure to do this
can result in severe burns.
Always wear oil-resistant, insulated gloves when working with hot oil!
Do not leave a filter machine unattended during operation. The action of the oil
moving through the lines could cause a flexible return hose to shake loose and
spray hot oil.
4.3.1.1 Filter Pan Setup
A.
First, place the support grid in the bottom of filter pan.
B.
Put two filter paper sheets on top of the support grid. Ensure the paper covers the whole
filter pan bottom.
C.
Position the hold-down ring on top of the filter papers and latch the hold-down ring and filter
papers securely against the filter pan bottom, forming a tight seal.
D.
Sprinkle 16 ounces of filter powder on the top filter sheet. Distribute the powder over the
filter paper as evenly as possible. If filtering a second frypot immediately after the first, add
only 8 ounces of filter powder for the second filtering.
CAUTION
The crumb tray (if applicable) in built-in filter systems must be emptied into a
fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles
can spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.
E.
Place the crumb screen (if used) in the filter pan. Ensure the crumb screen is clean, prior to
placement. Allow the crumb screen to rest on the top edges of the hold-down ring.
F.
Slide filter pan back inside cabinet and close door.
