Corrective Action
B.In order to properly filter, the oil or shortening should be at or near 350ºF (177°C). At temperatures lower than this, the oil becomes too thick to pass through the filter medium easily, resulting in much slower oil return and eventual overheating of the filter pump motor. Make sure oil is at or near frying temperature before draining oil into filter pan.
