PF-SERIES PORTABLE FILTRATION SYSTEMS
CHAPTER 5: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
5-1
5.1 General
Cleaning operations fall into three general categories:
•
Wiping unit clean after each filter session;
•
Cleaning, changing filter paper and preparing the unit for the next day’s business.
•
Weekly cleaning to remove oil deposits and other particles.
WARNING
Do not use water jets to clean this equipment. To do so will damage the unit and
void the warranty.
WARNING
Never operate the filter unit unless cooking oil is at operating temperature.
5.2 Each Filter Use
Each time the PF-series portable filter is used:
•
Wash down the insides of the filter pan with hot oil during the filtering process. DO NOT
allow excessive residue buildup to occur inside the filter pan.
•
Change filter paper after each filter session or at the end of the day. Scrape excess sediment
from filter paper after each frypot is filtered. If oil is not returned to the frypot within 7
minutes, the filter paper may be clogged. Change filter paper if this occurs.
•
Wipe up any oil which may have splashed or spilled.
•
Wipe all exterior surfaces of the filter unit.
WARNING
Do not run water or boil-out solution through the portable filter. Doing so will cause
irreparable damage to the pump, and void the warranty.
