CHAPTER 5: BUILT-IN FILTRATION

5.2.2 Installing the Filter

Slide the filter inside the fryer cabinet. Ensure the male-female slip-fitting coupling is fully engaged.

The filter pan slides under the fryer (left), connecting with a slip fitting (right). [Note location of filter by-pass switch and filter reset breaker (arrow)].

5.3 Daily Filtration Operation

DANGER

Use caution and wear proper protective clothing. 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 prior to operating any switches or valves. Failure to do this can result in severe burns.

5.3.1 General Overview

The filter pump is turned on only after the shortening/oil is brought to operating temperature and drained into the prepared filter pan. The filter motor is then engaged and oil is drawn through filter paper and pumped back into the frypot. The frypot’s drain remains open during the filtering process. Allow the oil to cycle through the filter paper for approximately 5 minutes. At the end of 5 minutes, close the drain valve and allow the pump to fill the frypot to the top OIL LEVEL line. Leave the pump running for 10-15 seconds after bubbles appear in the frypot to ensure all shortening/oil is pumped from the drain pan and the lines. If the oil-return safety microswitch (activated by the oil- return handle) should fail, the filter can be operated with the manual by-pass switch, located inside the left-bottom of the fryer cabinet. Ensure the oil return valve is open prior to engaging the by-pass switch, and closed prior to disengaging the by-pass switch. Use the manual by-pass switch only until the microswitch can be repaired.
