5.2 Filter Magic II Filtration System Preventive Maintenance Checks and
Services
The Filter Magic II Filtration System requires daily cleaning of the inner and outer filter pans with a
solution of hot water and detergent.
Turn the filter pan upside down and slightly elevate the end
to allow all water to drain from the suction tube.
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.
If you notice that the system is pumping slowly or not at all, verify that the filter pan screen is on the
bottom of the filter pan, with the paper on top of the screen. If the filter screen and paper are
correctly installed, change the filter paper and verify that the O-rings on the connection fitting
(located inside the cabinet at the back) are present and in good condition.
NOTE:
With fresh paper
and properly installed O-rings, the system should refill the fryer in 2 to 3 minutes.
Immediately after each use, drain the Power Shower completely. If you suspect blockage, unscrew
the clean-out plugs at each corner of the frame. Place the frame in a pan of hot water for several
minutes to melt any accumulation of solidified oil. Use a long, narrow bottlebrush with hot water
and detergent to clean inside the tubes. If necessary, insert a straightened paper clip or similar
instrument into the holes in the frame to remove any blockages. Rinse, dry thoroughly, and reinstall
the plugs before using.
DANGER
Failure to reinstall the Power Shower cleanout plugs will cause hot oil to spray out of
the frypot during the filtering process, creating a burn hazard to personnel.
