MPF50S SERIES PORTABLE FILTRATION SYSTEMS

CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION

2.1 General (cont.)

Oil or shortening is gravity-drained from the fryer into the filter ("S" Models), or pumped from the frypot into the filter pan, and then filtered through filter paper. Filter powder, which enhances the filtering process, is distributed over the paper prior to filtering.

All units are shipped completely assembled with accessories packed inside the filter pan. All units are adjusted, tested and inspected at the factory before shipment.

WARNING

The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of the inherent dangers of operating a hot oil filter system, particularly the aspects of oil filtration, and draining/cleaning procedures.

An Off/Return (MPF50S) switch activates/deactivates the filter pump. The filter also has a Heater/Filter switch for use when filtering solid shortening.

A thermal-overload switch on the pump motor provides protection against overheating.

NOTE: If the thermal overload is triggered, wait 45 minutes, and then press the reset button to activate the circuit after the failure has been detected and repaired.

The motor thermal overload switch (arrow) is located on the left side of the filter.

2.2 Rating Plate

Information on the rating plate includes model and serial numbers, as well as electrical requirements. The rating plate is located on the back housing, near the electrical receptacle. Have the rating plate information handy when communicating with the factory about a unit or requesting special parts or information. Without rating plate information, proper identification of the unit cannot be confirmed.
