Preparing the Fryer for Operation
9. After “Washing Down” all accumulated breading and crumbs from the bottom of the fry-kettle, place the
Pump Switch in the “OFF” position and allow the shortening to drain into the Filter Pan.
10. Turn the T-Handle on the drain valve clockwise to close.
11. Position an appropriate receptacle for the oil you are to discard near the front of the fryer. Remember,
you will be removing approximately 7 gallons (26.6L) of shortening. Please ensure the container
which you have selected will contain all of the shortening. For ease in handling you may find it helpful to
use more than a single container. The shortening you will remove weighs about 45lbs. (20.5k) and is still
very hot. Placing the discarded shortening in two or more containers for removal makes for a lighter
load and decreases the possibility of injury by splashing. We recommend our Oil Caddy (Part #79229A)
for this purpose.
WARNING
Always ensure the containers which are used for this step will safely hold hot oil.
Plastic is generally not safe as it may melt and break. Metal containers which do not leak
are preferable to containers made of other materials. Failure to exercise the above
precautions may result in serious injury.
12. Connect the discharge drain hose to the quick disconnect located beside the Diverter Valve. Always
ensure the hose coupling is securely mated at the quick disconnected fitting.
13. Turn the handle on the Diverter Valve to the left (Clockwise).
14. Position the hand-held wand end of the discharge hose over the receptacle which you have positioned
to receive the HOT waste oil from the fryer. Always grasp the discharge hose by the insulated sleeve
near the wand end.
15. Place the Selector Switch in the “FILTER” position and allow the fryer filter system to pump the HOT
waste oil out of the fryer through the drain hose.
16. When all waste oil has been removed from the fryer, return the Selector Switch to the “OFF” position.
17. Return the diverter handle to its normal position so it points towards the operator.
18. Disconnect the drain hose from the fryer at the quick disconnect fitting below the Diverter Valve. Always
hold both ends of the drain hose in an upright position to avoid spillage of residual oil which may be
trapped in the hose. Carefully drain the hose into the receptacle which contains the waste oil from the
fryer.
19. Disconnect the Filter Pan from the fryer at the quick disconnect fitting located above and to-the-left of the
Filter Pan.
20. Remove the pipe-drain from the fry-kettle drain valve threading it in a counter-clockwise direction.
21. Slide the Filter Pan forward and carefully remove it for cleaning.
NOTE:
We recommend you use Chester Clean or an alkaline based cleanser to clean the Filter Pan. Avoid
liquid dish washing detergents as they may leave residues which reduce shortening life.
