Preface
The Shortening Filter is designed to do the
following things:
•
To filter shortening
•
To pump filtered shortening into fryer
kettles
•
To rinse fryer kettles with shortening
It is not designed to melt shortening or to filter or
pump anything other than shortening.
The machine is available with the following
electrical configurations:
•
115 volts, 1 phase, 50/60 hertz
•
220/240 volts, 1 phase, 50/60 hertz
The Shortening Filter is designed to be used on a
flat, dry floor, underneath the drain of a fryer
kettle. The operator must work safely at all
times and read this manual and follow its
instructions and warnings.
Study the instructions and warnings in this
manual carefully. A thorough understanding of
how to install, maintain, and safely operate the
Shortening Filter will prevent production delays
and injuries.
To use the Shortening Filter safely, heed the
following warnings and all other warnings that
appear in this manual:
•
Never let water and hot shortening come
in contact with each other. Moisture
causes hot shortening to spatter, which
may cause serious burns.
•
Do not overfill the kettle of the
Shortening Filter with shortening. If
shortening overflows the kettle, it could
cause serious burns or could cause
someone to slip on the floor and be
seriously injured.
•
Hot shortening can cause serious burns.
Make sure that proper protective gear
(face shield, gloves and apron) are worn
before filtering, disassembly and
cleaning.
•
To avoid electrocution or other injury,
unplug the machine before attempting
any adjustment, repair, disassembly, or
cleaning.
•
To avoid damaging the machine, never
use force to assemble, disassemble,
operate, clean, or maintain it.
•
Be careful never to get shortening,
water, or other materials on the floor. If
anything does get spilled on the floor,
mop it up immediately. Materials on the
floor can cause people to slip or fall,
resulting in serious injury or loss of life.
•
To prevent unintentional startup and
possible shortening spillage or fire,
unplug the machine if there is a local
power outage. When the power is
restored, it is safe to plug the machine in
again.
•
To avoid electrocution, make sure that
all electrical cords are not frayed or
cracked and that they do not pass
through any water or shortening.
•
Make sure that all electrical cords are
routed so that no one will trip over them.
