Operation GBF-2-GVH Ventless Fryer
Never attempt to perform the filter process when shortening is cold. Doing so can clog the
filter pump and damage the unit. Oil must be heated to at least 200°F (93°C) for filtering.
Always wear thermal protective gear, such as oven mitts, while performing the filtering process. Fryer parts
inside the cabinet will be extremely HOT!
1. As a minimum, Giles recommends that oil be filtered after
every fourth (4th) load has been cooked in a Fryer.
2. Place Heat Switch
①
of the Fryer unit to be filtered in
the [OFF] position.
3. Open the right-hand Cabinet Door. Disconnect the Filter
Pan hose
②
by pushing in on the white ring while
pulling the hose from connector. Remove Filter Pan
③
from unit.
4. Lift off the Cover and inspect filter media in Pan, which
should be the standard Stainless Steel Filter Screen
(SSFS); a single sheet of disposable Filter Paper may be
used as an alternative (NEVER use Screen and paper at
the same time) . Be certain that residue from previous
filter cycle is removed and that the Hold-down Frame is
locked down properly.
5. Add approximately 5 oz. of a suitable Filter Powder
(available from Giles, #72004) . Distribute evenly over
the filter media surface. Using a good quality filter aid is
important for the process to remove soluble impurities
and recondition used oil.
6. Replace Cover on Filter Pan, reposition it under unit and
reconnect Pan hose
②
(push in on ring while inserting
brass fitting into connector). Be sure that fit is tight and
secure.
5.04 Filtering Used Cooking Oil
This section explains use of the on-board Oil Filtration System to filter and recondition used cooking oil by
circulating it through filter media in the Filter Pan and returning it directly to the vat. Performing this process as
prescribed can effectively increase the useful life of cooking oil by as much as 50%.
