7.9Built-in Filtration System Service Procedures 7.9.1 Filtration System Problem Resolution

One of the most common causes of filtration problems is placing the filter paper on the bottom of the filter pan rather than over the filter screen.

CAUTION

Ensure that filter screen is in place prior to filter paper placement and filter pump operation. Improper screen placement is the primary cause of filtration system malfunction.

Whenever the complaint is “the pump is running, but no oil is being filtered,” check the installation of the filter paper, and ensure that the correct size is being used. While you are checking the filter paper, verify that the O-ring on the bottom of the filter pan is present and in good condition. A missing or worn O-ring allows the pump to take in air and decreases its efficiency. Also, oil leaks on the floor each time a vat is drained.

If the pump motor overheats, the thermal overload will trip and the motor will not start until it is reset. If the pump motor does not start, press the red reset switch (button) located on the rear of the motor.

If the pump starts after resetting the thermal overload switch, then something is causing the motor to overheat. A major cause of overheating is when several frypots are filtered sequentially, overheating the pump and motor. Allow the pump motor to cool at least 30 minutes before resuming operation. Pump overheating can be caused by:

Solidified shortening in the pan or filter lines, or

• Attempting to filter unheated oil (cold oil is more viscous, overloading the pump motor and causing it to overheat).

If the motor runs but the pump does not, there is a blockage in the pump. Incorrectly sized or installed paper/pads will allow food particles and sediment to pass Sediment Particle through the filter pan and into the pump. When sediment

enters the pump, the gears bind, causing the motor to overload, again tripping the thermal overload. Shortening that has solidified in the pump will also cause it to seize, with the same result.

Frymaster E4 manual

E4 specifications

The Frymaster E4 is an advanced fryer that represents the cutting edge of commercial frying technology. Designed for efficiency and performance, it is favored by restaurants and fast-food chains looking to optimize their cooking processes while maintaining exceptional food quality.

One of the standout features of the Frymaster E4 is its programmable controls. With an intuitive digital interface, operators can easily adjust cooking temperatures, times, and even recipes with just a few taps. This level of precision ensures that food is consistently cooked to perfection every time, reducing waste and improving overall efficiency in the kitchen.

The E4 is equipped with high-performance burners that ensure rapid heating and recovery times. This means that cooking oil reaches the desired temperatures quickly, allowing for faster frying cycles. Thus, busy kitchens can meet high-demand periods without compromising quality or service speed. The fryer also features a high-efficiency oil filtration system that automatically removes contaminants and prolongs the life of the frying oil, resulting in a significant reduction in operating costs over time.

Another notable technology in the Frymaster E4 is its oil level management system, which actively monitors oil levels and alerts the operator when replenishment is necessary. This feature prevents overfilling or underfilling, both of which can negatively impact cooking performance and food quality.

Safety is also a top priority with the E4, as it incorporates features such as a built-in safety shut-off mechanism that activates if the temperature exceeds safe levels. Additionally, the fryer's robust construction minimizes the risks of spills and accidents in the kitchen, making it a reliable choice for high-traffic environments.

The Frymaster E4 also emphasizes energy efficiency, designed to meet stringent energy-saving standards without compromising performance. This is crucial in the current market, where energy costs can significantly impact overall profitability.

In conclusion, the Frymaster E4 offers an impressive combination of innovative technology, safety, and efficiency. Its programmable controls, high-performance frying capabilities, and advanced filtration and oil management systems make it an essential tool for any commercial kitchen aiming to enhance productivity and food quality. As the demands of the food industry continue to grow, the E4 stands out as a reliable partner for chefs looking to elevate their frying operations.
