5.5Draining and Disposing of Waste Oil
When cooking oil is exhausted, drain the oil into an appropriate METAL container for transport to the disposal container. Frymaster recommends the use of the Frymaster Shortening Disposal Unit (SDU). NOTE: If using an SDU built before January 2004 the filter pan cover must be removed to allow the unit to be positioned beneath the drain. To remove the lid, lift up on the front edge and pull it straight out of the cabinet. Refer to the documentation furnished with your disposal unit for specific operating instructions. If a shortening disposal unit is not available, allow the oil to cool to 100°F (38°C), then drain the oil into a METAL stockpot or similar METAL container. When draining is finished, close the fryer drain valve securely.
DANGER
Allow oil to cool to 100°F (38°C) before draining into an appropriate METAL container for disposal.
DANGER
When draining oil into a disposal unit, do not fill above the maximum fill line located on the container.
5.6Using the “Optional” Oil Disposal
If the fryer is fitted with the optional oil disposal, ensure the filter pan is clean and ready for filtering. DO NOT discharge oil through a dirty or incomplete filter pan.
1.Ensure the oil is at operating temperature.
2.Turn the fryer off. Wear protective clothing and use caution. Hot oil can cause serious injury.
3.Open the drain valve of the frypot with oil to be discarded. Drain only one frypot at a time.
4.With the frypot drained and the oil to be discarded in the filter pan, close the drain valve. Ensure all other drain valves and
5.Ensure the oil disposal reservoir is not full and the fryer is properly connected to the oil disposal system.
6.Discharge the oil by engaging the discharge valve handle. The filter pump will come on and the oil will be pumped from the filter pan. Turn the pump off by disengaging the discharge valve handle when the filter pan empties. Repeat steps
7.Refill the fryer with fresh oil.
