SUFF/UFF FILTRATION SYSTEMS

CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

3.3 Daily Filtration Operation

WARNING

Use caution and wear proper protective clothing. The oil to be filtered is at or near 350°F (177°C). Ensure all hoses are connected properly and drain handles are in their proper position prior to operating any switches or valves. Failure to do this can result in severe burns.

WARNING

Drawings and photos used in this manual are intended to illustrate operational, cleaning and technical procedures and may not conform to on-site management operational procedures.

3.3.1 General Overview

Only filter oil at operating temperature (~350°F/~177°C). When filtering begins, the filter motor is engaged and oil is drawn through filter paper or a filter-leaf assembly and pumped back into the frypot. The frypot’s drain remains open during the filtering process. Allow the oil to cycle through the filter process for approximately 5 minutes. At the end of 5 minutes, close the drain valve and allow the pump to fill the frypot to the top OIL LEVEL line. Leave the pump running for 10-15 seconds after bubbles appear in the frypot to ensure all oil is pumped from the drain pan and the lines.

3.3.2 Filtering Tools

Assemble tools to be used for filtering. These are supplied with the filter starter kit included with the fryer/filter system:

Frypot/Filter Brush - used to clean frypot and filter pan sides and bottom, heating elements, and to dislodge sediment during filtration or oil change.

Clean-out Rod (design may vary) - used to dislodge heavy debris in the drain tube (when needed).

Filter Powder.

Filter Paper (not used in filter-leaf equipped filter systems).

The following tools are not required, but are recommended to make the filtering task easier.

Measuring Cup - used to measure filter powder.

Stainless Steel Crumb Scoop - for removing large debris from oil prior to filtering.

Note: Always wear oil-resistant, insulated gloves and/or protective gear when working with hot oil.
