CHAPTER 4: FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of
the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects
of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.
4.1 Draining and Manual Filtering
DANGER
Draining and filtering of cooking oil must be accomplished with care to avoid the
possibility of a serious burn caused by careless handling. The oil to be filtered is at
or near 350°F (177°C). Ensure all hoses are connected properly and drain handles
are in their proper position before operating any switches or valves. Wear all
appropriate safety equipment when draining and filtering cooking oil.
DANGER
Allow oil to cool to 100°F (38°C) before draining into an appropriate container for
disposal.
DANGER
Do not drain more than one frypot at a time into the built-in filtration unit to avoid
overflow and spillage of hot oil.
DANGER
When draining oil into a disposal unit or portable filter unit, do not fill above the
maximum fill line located on the container.
If your fryer is not equipped with a built-in filtration system, the cooking oil must be drained into
another suitable container. (For safe, convenient draining and disposal of used cooking oil,
Frymaster recommends using the Frymaster Shortening Disposal Unit (SDU). The SDU is available
through your local distributor.)
1. Turn the fryer 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 container with a sealable cover under the drainpipe. The metal container must
be able to withstand the heat of the cooking oil and hold hot liquids. If you intend to reuse the
oil, 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.
