CLEANING THE FILTER-LEAF ASSEMBLY
Filters equipped with a filter-leaf require specific cleaning and assembly procedures. In the absence
of cleaning and disassembly/reassembly instructions shipped with the filter-leaf, use the following
procedure (see illustration below):
Grasp the seal frame near each corner at the locking tab (
1
) and pull frame apart. The seal frame
will separate into two pieces. Separate the top and bottom screens (
2
and
3
) and remove the
grid (
4
). Assemble in reverse order (see illustration below).
Clean the two seal frame pieces, screens and grid using a good quality degreaser and hot water from
a spray nozzle. The groove in the seal frame pieces can be cleaned with the edge of a Scotch-
Brite™ type cleaning pad.
At each scheduled fryer boil-out, disassemble the filter-leaf and place in the frypot filled with
boil-out solution (where applicable). Follow the boil-out procedure in the Installation and Operation
manual included with the fryer. After boil out is complete, place the filter-leaf in a vinegar solution
(1 pint vinegar to 1/2 gallon water) to neutralize boil-out residue. Rinse the filter-leaf in clean water
to rinse away vinegar residue.
Allow all filter-leaf components to air dry or thoroughly dry with paper towels.
