CHAPTER 3: OWNER MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
This chapter provides you with the information and procedures necessary to perform maintenance,
adjustments, and service on the Wendy's W 14S-3 WF fryer. If after performing maintenance on your
fryer it does not perform properly, contact your authorized service center.
The power supply must be disconnected before servicing or cleaning the
appliance.
3.1 FILTER MEDIA REPLACEMENT
The filter module stores neatly under the fryer when not in use. The unit is very easy to use and
allows for quick installation and filtration, even under the busiest conditions. Follow the procedures
below to change the filter media.
At operating temperature, the shortening in the fryer may be hotter
than 375°F (190°C). This hot, melted shortening will cause severe
bums. Do not let the hot shortening touch your skin or clothing.
Always wear insulated oil-proof gloves when working on the filter
system. It will be easier and safer if the filter assembly has cooled to
room temperature before handling any filter parts.
a.
To remove the filter media, disconnect the filter tube pick-up from the fryer. This is done by
unscrewing the pick-up tube connector from the fryer connector.
b.
Grasp the filter pan handle and gently pull the assembly toward the front of the fryer. When
the pan is clear of the fryer, remove the filter pan cover.
c.
Discard any debris that may be in the crumb
catch.
d.
Lift up on the filter paper assembly and
remove from the filter pan. Unscrew the
suction tube from the filter paper support
rack. Remove the clip screen and slide the
filter paper support rack assembly out of the
filter bag.
