DANGER
Draining and filtering of cooking oil or shortening 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 cooking oil or shortening.
