9. PORTABLE FILTER OPERATIONS

9.1GENERAL:

a.These instructions are not intended to replace the operating instructions that came with your Dean Filter System. They are intended to provide general information about filtration procedures and serve as a quick reference guide.

b.For consistent product quality, convenience and long-term savings, use a high-quality liquid frying compound.

c.The frying compound should be filtered at least daily or even more frequently if cooking is heavy. This ensures the longest life possible for the frying compound, gives better taste to the food being prepared, and minimizes flavors being transferred from batch to batch.

d.When completing a filter cycle, always close the return valve(s) at the fryer(s) to avoid siphoning oil out of the fryer into the filter and open the valve at the filter to promote draining of the return lines into the filter pan.

e.If using solid shortening, always make sure the return lines are clear before turning off the filter motor and hang any flexible lines up to drain. Solid shortening will solidify as it cools and clog the lines.
