FILTER MEDIA REPLACEMENT
The filter module stores neatly under the fryer when not in use. The unit is very easy to use and allows for quick installation and filtration, even under the busiest conditions. Follow the procedures below to change the filter media.
WARNING
At operating temperature, the shortening in the fryer may be hotter than 375°F (190°C). This hot, melted shortening will cause severe burns. Do not let the hot shortening touch your skin or clothing. Always wear insulated oil- proof gloves when working on the filter system. It will be easier and safer if the filter assembly has cooled to room temperature before handling any filter parts.
a.With the filter pan empty of oil, remove the filter media by grasping the filter pan handle and gently pull the assembly toward the front of the fryer.
b.Separate the filter pickup tube from the filter pickup screen assembly by pulling up on the pickup tube just above where it connects to the pickup screen assembly. Lift pickup tube and swing it to the left, until it rests on the left hand side of the filter pan.
c.Grab filter screen pickup assembly lift handles and carry it to a trash barrel and shake off heavy discard any debris that may be built upon the top of the assembly.
d.Unscrew the filter paper clip bracket from the filter paper support screen and slide the filter paper support screen out of the filter paper clip bracket.
e.Remove filter paper support screen from the filter envelope.
f.All of the filter pick up assembly parts can be washed in a dish washer or a pot sink. Flush out the suction tube assembly with hot water. After cleaning, it is very important to thoroughly dry the parts before reassembling. Water and oil do not mix. Water in hot oil will cause the oil to splatter.
g.Start reassembling the filter pick up assembly by sliding the new filter paper on to the filter paper support rack. Ensure that the hole in the filter paper goes over the pick up tube assembly threaded connector.
h.Fold the open end of the bag in two folds. The first fold should be approximately 1 inch from the end and the second should be over the edge of the rack assembly.
i.Slide the clip screen over the folded end of the filter paper. Ensure the opening of the clip screen goes over the pick up tube connection. Screw the suction tube connection onto the threaded connection.
j.Place the filter pickup assembly into the filter pan and slide the filter pan assembly back into the fryer cabinet.
k.Filter unit is now ready for use.
