4.5.1 Filter Operation (cont.)
WARNING
DO NOT hammer on the drain valve with the cleanout rod or other objects. Damage to the ball inside will result in leaks and will void the Frymaster warranty.
5.After all oil has drained from the frypot into the filter pan, turn the yellow handle (right) to open the oil return valve and activate the filter pump. Leave the red handle in the open position.
6.Oil will begin to pump from the filter pan into the frypot. If the frypot sides and bottom have sediment deposits, clean the frypot with the cleaning brush included with the fryer.
7.Allow the oil to circulate for approximately 5 minutes (process known as "polishing") to remove suspended particles.
8.After the filter cycle is complete, close the drain valve (push the red handle to the left until it stops) and allow the fryer to refill.
9.After all oil is pumped back into the frypot, bubbles will form, indicating air in the oil return lines. Allow the oil to bubble for 10- 15 seconds to ensure all oil is evacuated from the return lines. Turn the yellow handle (left) to close the oil return valve and deactivate the filter pump.
10.If the oil level is low, add oil until the level is at the top OIL LEVEL line. DO NOT
OVERFILL THE FRYPOT.
WARNING
DO NOT OVERFILL THE FYPOT. This will cause oil to splash out of the frypot during cooking and may cause burns or damage.
Turn the yellow handle (right) to open the oil return valve and activate the filter pump.
After filtering is complete, push the red drain handle (left) to close the drain and start refilling the frypot.
Allow the oil to bubble for
