BID80 SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 5: BUILT-IN FILTRATION
5-1
WARNING
Drawings and photos used in this manual are intended to illustrate operational,
cleaning and technical procedures and may not conform to on-site management
operational procedures.
WARNING
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of
the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtration system, particularly the aspects
of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.
WARNING
When operating the filtration system, never leave the filter unattended. The action of
the oil moving through the hose lines could jolt a flexible return hose (where
applicable) out of the filter pan, spraying hot oil and causing severe burns.
DANGER
The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system 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.
IMPORTANT
Cooking oil/shortening should be filtered at least daily, or more frequently if cooking
is heavy. This assures the longest life possible for the oil and minimizes flavor
transfer.
