3.Open the drain valve slowly to avoid splattering. If the drain valve becomes clogged with food particles, use the Fryer’s Friend
DANGER
NEVER attempt to clear a clogged drain valve from the front of the valve! Hot oil or shortening will rush out creating the potential for severe burns.
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.
4.After draining the oil/shortening, clean all food particles and residual oil/shortening from the frypot. BE CAREFUL, this material may still cause severe burns if it comes in contact with bare skin.
5.Close the drain valve securely and fill the frypot with clean, filtered or fresh cooking oil or solid shortening to the bottom
DANGER
When using solid shortening, pack the shortening down into the bottom of the frypot. DO NOT operate the fryer with a solid block of shortening sitting in the upper portion of the frypot. This will cause damage to the frypot and may cause a flash fire.
4.2Preparing the
The FootPrint Pro filtration system allows the cooking oil or shortening in one frypot to be safely and efficiently filtered while the other frypots in a battery remain in operation. The FootPrint Pro filtration system is available in three different configurations:
•Filter Paper – includes crumb tray, large
•Filter Pad – includes crumb tray, small
•Magnasol Filter – includes crumb tray and Magnasol filter assembly.
Section 4.2.1 covers preparation of the Filter Paper and Filter Pad configurations for use. Refer to Section 4.2.2 for instructions on preparing the Magnasol Filter configuration for use. Operation of all three configurations is the same and is covered in section 4.3. Disassembly and reassembly of the Magnasol filter is covered in section 4.4.
