WARNING

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.

5.4.1 General Overview

Only filter oil at operating temperature (~350°F/~177°C). When filtering begins, the filter motor engages and oil is drawn through filter paper or a filter-leaf assembly and pumped back into the frypot through oil return plumbing. The frypot’s drain remains open during the filtering process, allowing oil to filter through the frypot and back into the filter unit. Allow the oil to cycle through this process for approximately 5 minutes. At the end of 5 minutes, close the drain valve and allow the frypot to fill to the top OIL LEVEL line. Leave the pump running for 10-15 seconds after bubbles appear in the frypot to ensure all oil is pumped from the drain pan and the lines. Close the oil return valve.
