4.2.2 Installing the Filter
Slide the filter inside the fryer cabinet. Ensure the male-female slip-fitting coupling is fully
engaged.
4.3 Daily Filtration Operation
DANGER
Use caution and wear proper protective clothing. The oil to be filtered is at or near
350°F (177°C). Ensure all hoses are connected properly and drain handles are in
their proper position prior to operating any switches or valves. Failure to do this can
result in severe burns.
NOTICE
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.
4.3.1 General Overview
The filter pump is turned on only after the oil is brought to operating temperature and drained into
the prepared filter pan. The filter motor is then engaged and oil is drawn through filter paper and
pumped back into the frypot. The frypot’s drain remains open during the filtering process. Allow
the oil to cycle through the filter paper for approximately 30 minutes. At the end of 30 minutes,
close the drain valve and allow the pump to fill the frypot to the top
OIL LEVEL
line. Leave the
pump running for 30-45 seconds after bubbles appear in the frypot to ensure all oil is pumped from
the drain pan and the lines. If the oil-return safety microswitch (activated by the oil-return handle)
should fail, the filter can be operated with the manual by-pass switch, located inside the left-bottom
of the fryer cabinet. Ensure the oil return valve is open prior to engaging the by-pass switch, and
closed prior to disengaging the by-pass switch. Use the manual by-pass switch only until the
microswitch can be repaired.
4.3.2 Filtering Tools
Assemble tools to be used for filtering. These are supplied with the filter starter kit included with
the fryer/filter system:
•
Frypot/Filter Brush - used to clean frypot and filter pan sides and bottom and to dislodge
sediment during filtration or shortening/oil change.
•
Clean-Out Rod (design may vary)- used to dislodge heavy debris in the drain tube (when
needed).
•
Filter Paper.
