Operating the Filter 4.5.1 Filter Operation

4.5Operating the Filter 4.5.1 Filter Operation

See Section 4.3.2, Assembling the Filter, and Section 4.3.3, Installing the Filter, for the appropriate filter preparation procedure.

CAUTION

NEVER operate the filter unit unless cooking oil is at operating temperature (~350°F/ ~177°C).

1.Ensure the filter pan assembly is prepared as described in Section 4.3.2, Assembling the Filter, and ensure fryer is turned off.

2.Remove fry baskets from frypot and skim any large debris from the oil. Use extreme caution, as oil is at or near operating temperature (~350°F/~177°C).

3.Remove the basket support rack from the frypot using the Fryer’s Friend clean-out rod. Stir the oil with the frypot/filter brush to suspend debris prior to draining.

4.After ensuring the filter pan is correctly positioned under the drain tubes, move the red handle to the open position (right) to drain the frypot into the filter pan. Drain

ONLY ONE frypot at a time. The filter pan is designed to hold the contents of one frypot only. If necessary, use the Fryer's Friend clean-out rod to clear the drain from inside the frypot.

DANGER

Do not drain more than one frypot at a time into the built-in filtration unit to avoid overflow and spillage of hot oil.

DANGER

NEVER attempt to clear a clogged drain valve from the front of the valve! Hot oil will rush out creating the potential for severe burns.

Prior to filtering, skim any large debris from oil in frypot.
