•Verify that all safety features (i.e. contactor shields, drain safety switches, reset switches, etc.) are present and functioning properly.

Built-In Filtration System
•Inspect all
•Inspect the filter pan for leaks and cleanliness. If there is a large accumulation of crumbs in the crumb basket, advise the owner/operator that the crumb basket should be emptied into a fireproof container and cleaned daily.
•Verify that all
•Check filtration system integrity as follows:
−Verify that filter pan cover is present and properly installed.
−With the filter pan empty, place each oil return handle, one at a time, in the ON position. Verify that the pump activates and that bubbles appear in the oil of the associated frypot.
−Close all oil return valves (i.e., place all oil return handles in the OFF position). Verify proper functioning of each oil return valve by activating the filter pump using the lever on one of the oil return handle microswitches. No air bubbles should be visible in any frypot.
−Verify that the filter pan is properly prepared for filtering, then drain a frypot of oil heated to 350°F (177°C) into the filter pan and close the frypot drain valve. Place the oil return handle in the ON position. Allow all oil to return to the frypot, indicated by bubbles in the oil. Return the oil return handle to the OFF position. The frypot should have refilled in no more than 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
