The oil may drop below operating temperature during the filtering process. In that case, the fryer will display Low-Temp and heat the oil when it is turned on.

Return fryer to operation, or filter another frypot in the battery. Remember, only one frypot can be filtered at a time.

8.2 CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR FRYER AND FILTER SYSTEM

CAUTION: Never operate the fryer or filter system without vegetable oil in the system.

1.Filter vegetable oil as often as needed. If a heavy volume of breaded food is fried, filter as often as every hour. Filtering often increases the life of the vegetable oil and produces a better-tasting product. The best rule to follow is to "filter before you think it is needed". Even with a product such as french fries, you should filter two to three times per day for best results.

2.Periodically clean the frypot. Cleaning the frypot, combined with disposing of old vegetable oil enhances the flavor of the food product. After the fryer is empty, drain the frypot and close the drain valve. Fill the frypot to the OIL LEVEL line (or the bottom line for fryers equipped with two oil-level lines) with water and the correct amount of McD All Purpose Concentrate (APC) Cleaner HSC. Place the baskets into the frypot and bring the solution to a simmer at 195° F (90.5° C) for 1 hour. Turn OFF the fryer, drain the solution and wipe the frypot clean and dry.

NOTE: Do not drain water into the filter pan. Water will damage the filter pump enough to require replacement. Use a stockpot or bucket.

3.The filter pan and filter base assembly must be cleaned on initial start-up and periodically thereafter.

a.To clean the filter pan, lift pan from the filter base. Take the filter pan to a sink filled with warm water and grease-cutting detergent.

b.Scrub the filter pan with the frypot brush shipped with the fryer.

c.Rinse the filter pan thoroughly to remove the detergent. Wipe dry with a clean, dry cloth or paper towels.
