There are no periodic preventive maintenance checks and services required for your FilterQuick
™
Filtration System other than daily cleaning of the filter pan and associated components with a
solution of hot water and detergent.
If you notice that the system is pumping slowly or not at all, verify that the filter pan screen is on the
bottom of the filter pan, with the paper on top of the screen. Verify that the two O-ring(s) on the
fitting at the right front of the filter pan are present and in good condition.
5.2.4 Clean Filter Pan, Detachable Parts and Accessories
Carbonized oil will accumulate on the filter pan and detachable parts and accessories such as
baskets, sediment trays, or fish plates.
Wipe the filter pan and all detachable parts and accessories with a clean cloth dampened with a
detergent solution (or the parts can be run through a dishwasher). Rinse and thoroughly dry each
part. DO NOT use steel wool or abrasive pads to clean these parts. The scratches that result from
such scrubbing make subsequent cleanings more difficult.

WEEKLY CHECKS AND SERVICE
5.3.1 Drain, Clean Frypot and Heating Elements
DANGER
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled to the fill
line with water or oil before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will result in
irreparable damage to the elements and may cause a fire.
After the fryer has been in use for a period of time, a hard film of caramelized oil will form on the
inside of the frypot. This deposit must be periodically removed to maintain your fryer’s efficiency.
See the Clean and Filter procedure instructions in the FilterQuick
™
controller manual to clean the
frypot
.
5.3.2 Cleaning the Frypot using a Hot Clean (Boil Out) or Cold Clean (Cold Soak)
During normal usage of your fryer, a deposit of carbonized oil will gradually form on the inside of
the frypot. This film should be periodically removed by following the Hot Clean (Boil-Out) or Cold
Clean (Cold Soak) procedure. Use the instructions in the FilterQuick
™
controller manual to clean the
frypot.
WARNING
To prevent injury, ensure adjacent vats that contain oil are OFF and covered prior to
performing a Hot Clean (Boil Out) or Cold Clean (Cold Soak).
To clean all frypots simultaneously, dispose of all the oil using the instructions in the FilterQuick
™
controller manual. Once the oil is disposed follow the procedures below:
1.
Program a product button for 195°F and follow the instructions on the detergent container.
2.
When the solution is finished simmering, turn off controller.
