2.Ensure the filter power switch is in “OFF” position prior to connecting to power supply.
3.Plug power cord into electrical outlet. The filter unit is ready for filtering. If equipped, turn on heater switch to allow pan to preheat. After filtering, follow instructions in Section 4.4, Changing Filter Paper.
CAUTION
The crumb tray (if equipped) in portable filter systems must be emptied into a
fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles can spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.
4.4 Changing Filter Paper
The top sheet of filter paper should be replaced after each filter session, and most certainly at the beginning of each workday. If filter paper is replaced once per day, excess sediment should be scraped from the top filter paper after each frypot is filtered (see photo). Filter at closing if possible. This ensures the oil/shortening is at proper filtering temperature.
Scrape excess sediment from top filter paper sheet after filtering.
