PREPARING THE PORTABLE FILTER
1. Remove screen from over tubes/element with
tongs or a Drain Clean Out Rod (See Figure 1-1).
SCREEN OVER TUBES/ELEMENTS WILL BE
VERY HOT AND SHOULD BE MOVED TO A SAFE
PLACE.
2. Heat fryers to 325°F. Stir oil thoroughly until all
water is removed and shut fryer off (including pilot
light) before fi ltering (Figure 1-2).
NOTE:
Water settles in the cooler oil in the Cold
Zone. If the water is not removed, the fi lter paper
absorbs the water preventing the oil from passing
through it.
3. Use the spoon and stir oil thoroughly until bubbling
stops, resulting in removal of all water (Figure 1-2).
OIL IS HOT. USE CARE WHEN FILTERING.
4. Place in clean fi lter tub (See Figure 1-3):
1st:
Filter
Screen
2nd: Filter Paper (new sheet for each fryer)
3rd: Hold down ring
4th: Secure hold down ring at each corner with
"T" rod handles
5th: Acidox fi lter powder (new powder for
each fryer)
6th:
Strainer
basket
NOTE:
Hold down ring makes a gasket-like seal on
fi lter paper. Filter paper must be placed edge to edge
from front to back, overlapping on sides. Filter Paper
must be smooth and fl at under hold down ring to get
a proper seal. Lock the two tension arms into place
by pushing down and rotating 90°.
NOTE:
One package of Acidox is needed for every 40
lbs. of oil.
5. Completely shut off fryer (main and pilot on gas
models or main electrical power on electric models)
before proceeding with fi ltration.
FILTRATION
1. Oil being fi ltered is hot. Use proper protective at-
tire and caution to prevent injury.
2. Plug fi lter into a suitable electrical power source.
3. Open fryer cabinet door and position portable fi lter
vessel under fryer drain valve. Slowly open drain valve
to avoid splashing and permit oil in fryer vessel to
drain into fi lter vessel (Figure 2-1).
