4.1 Filter Operation (cont.)
5.
Ensure the oil is at operating temperature [~350° (177°C)]. Turn the fryer off.
WARNING
The filter pan maximum capacity is 50 lbs. DO NOT OVERFILL THE FILTER PAN.
6.
PF50 (Return/Suction) Filters Only
:
a.
Suction Operation: Ensure the filter pan lid is in place to prevent splashing of hot oil. Place
the filter hose nozzle into the frypot. Turn the Suction/Off/Return switch to SUCTION to
start the filter pump (see illustration below). Oil will transfer from the frypot to the filter
pan.
CAUTION
DO NOT insert the tip of the hose nozzle into the sediment area of the frypot (not
applicable to "S" models). Suction of sediment into the hose nozzle will damage the
filter pump. If the pump becomes clogged, stop the pump immediately. Reverse the
pump to discharge particles into the frypot or filter pan.
When the fryer is emptied of oil, place the hose nozzle into the filter pan and turn the
Suction/Off/Return switch to RETURN (see illustration below). Circulate the oil through
the filter for approximately 5 minutes (process known as "polishing"). Polishing the oil
maximizes filtering and extends the life of the oil. After 5 minutes, turn the
Suction/Off/Return switch to OFF.
