CHAPTER 4: FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS

4.1Draining and Manual Filtering: Non-Filtration Fryers

DANGER

Allow oil/shortening to cool to 100ºF (38ºC) or lower before draining to an appropriate container for disposal.

If your fryer is not equipped with a built-in filtration system (FootPrint III or Filter Magic II), the cooking oil or shortening must be drained into another suitable container. (For safe, convenient draining and disposal of used cooking oil or shortening, Frymaster recommends using the Frymaster Shortening Disposal Unit (SDU). The SDU is available through your local distributor.)

1.Turn the controller power switch to the OFF position. Screw the drainpipe (provided with your fryer) into the drain valve. Make sure the drainpipe is firmly screwed into the drain valve and that the opening is pointing down.

2.Position a metal stockpot with a sealable cover under the drainpipe. If you intend to reuse the oil or shortening, Frymaster recommends that a Frymaster filter cone holder and filter cone be used when a filter machine is not available. If you are using a Frymaster filter cone holder, be sure that the cone holder rests securely on the metal container.

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

DO NOT insert anything into the drain from the front to unclog the valve. Hot oil/shortening will rush out, creating an extreme hazard.

WARNING

DO NOT hammer on the drain valve with the Fryer’s Friend. This will damage the drain valve ball and prevent the valve from sealing securely, resulting in a leaky valve.

4.After draining the oil/shortening, clean all food particles and residual oil/shortening from the frypot. BE CAREFUL, this material may still cause severe burns if it contacts bare skin.

5.Close the drain valve securely and fill the frypot with clean, filtered or fresh cooking oil or shortening to the bottom OIL-LEVEL line.

DANGER

NEVER set a complete block of solid shortening on top of the heating elements.

When using solid shortening, always pre-melt the shortening before adding it to the frypot. If the shortening is not pre-melted, it must be packed down between the elements and the fryer must be started in the melt-cycle mode. NEVER cancel the melt-cycle mode when using solid shortening. Doing so will result in damage to the elements and increase the potential for a flash fire.
