DAILY FILTERING
Shortening life will be extended by filtering at least once a day, or more often if conditions warrant.
Models VF2/VMF2 and VF2D/VMF2D are equipped with a
1
/
4
turn ball type drain valve. Models VF1/
VMF1 and VF1D/VMF1D have a removable fry tank that can be lifted out by raising the heating
elements out of the tank, or the shortening can be syphoned out as follows:
Models VF1/VF1D
Turn the fryer off and allow shortening to cool. Place the syphon assembly (Fig. 5) so that the short
tube rests on the bottom of the tank and the long tube projects down through the hole in the grease
trough. Tie the filter bag to the end of the long tube. Provide a metal container of sufficient capacity
at the end of the long tube inside the storage compartment.
To start the syphoning action, push the stopper in the bowl closed. Fill the bowl with clean liquid
shortening. Pull the stopper to allow shortening to start draining. Push the stopper closed before all
the shortening is drained from the bowl. To stop draining, pull the stopper and empty the bowl
completely.
