4.3.1.2 Filter Operation (cont.)
L.
Allow the filter to pump bubbles into the fryer for 15-20 seconds to ensure evacuation of all
oil/shortening from the filter pan and return lines.
M.
Turn the filter switch to "OFF".
N.
Close the oil return valve (or push yellow handle) to the fryer being filtered.
NOTE:
The filtering cycle for one fryer is complete. To filter additional fryers, repeat the
above steps, starting with item "A". Complete the process with the following final step.
CAUTION
When the filter pump is "ON",
NEVER
open the hose connect valve without the
optional flexible hose connected. Always ensure that the optional flexible hose is
properly connected and the hose wand is firmly held in the filter pan or fry vessel
prior to opening the hose connect valve. Failure to do this increases the chance of
burn injury from spraying hot oil/shortening.
O.
Open the hose connect valve (or push red handle) at the filter and close the filter cabinet
door.
NOTE
With the hose connect valve "open", any oil left in the return lines will drain into the filter
pan. With the return valve "closed", no oil will back-flush from the frying vessel, into the
lines. When not filtering, leave the hose connect valve "open", and the oil-return valve
"closed".
4.3.1.3 Changing Filter Paper
The top piece of filter paper should be discarded when it becomes dark or scuffed in appearance.
Follow the procedure below and refer to the illustration on page 4-1.
A.
Prior to changing the paper, use the optional flexible hose with about one-inch of oil in the
filter pan or oil drawn from the fryer to flush all debris from the filter pan sides onto the
paper.
B.
Return all oil to the fryer.
C.
Open the locking latches of the hold-down ring (see Item #3, page 4-1) and lift the ring out of
the filter tank.
D.
Roll both ends of the used (top) sheet of paper in to the center, ensuring no sediment falls
out. Discard top filter paper.
E.
Remove the second sheet of paper and set aside for later use.
