CHAPTER 5: FILTRATION OPERATION

Cleaning the Filter Leaf Assembly

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 or similar cleaning pad.

At each scheduled boil out, disassemble the filter leaf as described in Section 5.7.1 and place in the frypot filled with boil-out solution. Follow the boil-out procedure in Section 4.4.1, including placing the filter leaf in the vinegar solution to neutralize boil-out residue, and clean water to rinse away vinegar residue.

Allow all filter leaf components to air dry or thoroughly dry with paper towels.

5.3 Daily Filtration Operation

WARNING

Use caution and wear proper protective clothing. 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 prior to operating any switches or valves. Failure to do this can result in severe burns.

WARNING

Drawings and photos used in this manual are intended to illustrate operational, cleaning and technical procedures and may not conform to on-site management operational procedures.

5.3.1 General Overview

The filter pump is turned on only after the oil is brought to operating temperature and drained into the prepared filter pan. The filter motor is then engaged and oil is drawn through the filter leaf assembly and pumped back into the frypot. The frypot drain valve remains open during the filtering process. The oil is cycled through the filter leaf assembly for approximately 10 minutes (see computer section for specific instructions). At the end of 10 minutes, the drain valve is closed, allowing the oil to pump back into the frypot. The pump should run for 15-30 seconds after bubbles appear in the frypot to ensure all oil or shortening is pumped from the drain pan and the oil-return lines. The frypot oil level should return to the top OIL LEVEL line. If not, add fresh oil or shortening to obtain the proper level. Remember, the oil is at operating temperature during all filtration procedures.

The filter pump can be activated with a manual On/Off switch located under the fryer control panel if the oil-return, drain-flush or wand/dispose valves fail to activate the pump when opened. Contact an authorized service technician immediately for repair.

Refer to specific store procedures for correct filter operation. Additional information can be found in the computer section of this manual.
