Chapter 5: Filtration Operation

3.Open the drain valve slowly to avoid splattering. If the drain valve becomes clogged with food particles, use the Fryer’s Friend (poker-like tool) to clear the blockage.

DANGER

NEVER attempt to clear a clogged drain valve from the front of the valve! Hot oil 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, clean all food particles and residual oil 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 oil or solid shortening to the bottom OIL-LEVELline.

DANGER

WHEN USING SOLID SHORTENING, PACK THE SHORTENING DOWN IN BETWEEN THE TUBES TO 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.
