4-7
not available, allow the oil to cool to 100°F (38°C), then drain the oil into a
METAL
stockpot or
similar
METAL
container.
DANGER
Draining and filtering of cooking oil must be accomplished with care to avoid the
possibility of a serious burn caused by careless handling. The oil to be filtered is at
or near 350°F (177°C). Ensure all hoses are connected properly and drain handles
are in their proper position before operating any switches or valves. Wear all
appropriate safety equipment when draining and filtering oil.
DANGER
Allow oil to cool to 100°F (38°C) before draining into an appropriate
METAL
container for disposal.
DANGER
When draining oil into a disposal unit, do not fill above the maximum fill line located
on the container.
1. Turn the computer power switch to the
OFF
position.
2.
Position a
METAL
container with a sealable cover under the drainpipe. The
METAL
container must be able to withstand the heat of the oil and hold hot liquids.
3.
Follow the instructions for disposing of oil on page 1-13 in the controller manual 819-6872 if
equipped with a 3000. Open the drain valve slowly to avoid splattering. If the drain valve
becomes clogged with food particles, use the Fryer’s Friend (poker-like tool) to clear the
blockage.
DANGER
NEVER attempt to clear a clogged drain valve from the front of the valve! Hot oil will
rush out creating the potential for severe burns.
DANGER
DO NOT hammer on the drain valve with the cleanout rod or other objects. Damage
to the ball inside will result in leaks and will void the Frymaster warranty.
4.
After draining the oil, clean all food particles and residual oil from the frypot. BE CAREFUL,
this material may still cause severe burns if it comes in contact with bare skin.
5.
Ensure the drain valve is closed securely and fill the frypot with clean, filtered or fresh cooking
oil to the bottom
OIL-LEVEL
line.
