3-9. FILTERING OF

At the end of the preset number of Cook Cycles (5 for electric; 4 for

SHORTENING

gas), an alarm sounds and “FILTER LOCKOUT” then “YOU *MUST*

 

FILTER NOW” shows in the display. No Cook Cycles can be started

 

until the peanut oil is filtered (The controls show how many cycles until

 

next filtering, ex: “5X” in display.)

 

Chick-fil-A’s training materials outline two methods of filtering the oil: a

 

Quick Clean and a Thorough Clean. The Thorough Clean includes all the

 

steps below (#1-10), whereas the Quick Clean omits step #6. Follow the

 

steps in Chick-fil-A’s training materials when filtering the oil.

 

1. Turn the COOK/PUMP switch to OFF and remove basket.

 

The best results are obtained when the shortening is filtered at the

 

normal frying temperature.

 

2. Using a metal spatula, scrape any buildup from the sides of the

 

frypot. Do not scrape heating elements on electric units or the

 

curved surface of the gas frypot.

 

Scraping the electric fryer elements, or the curved portion

 

of the gas frypot, produces scratches in these surfaces

 

causing breading to stick and burn.

The filter drain pan must be as far back under fryer as it will go, and the cover in place. Be sure the hole in the cover lines up with the drain before opening the drain. Failure to follow these instructions causes splashing of peanut oil and could result in personal injury.

Also, when using a crumb basket, it must be emptied as required and positioned properly under the drain valve to prevent splashing of hot peanut oil and severe burns.

Surfaces of fryer and basket will be hot. Use care when filtering to avoid burns.

3.Turn the left drain handle counterclockwise half a turn first, then slowly to the full open position (handle pointed down for electric models and pointed up for gas models). This helps prevent splashing of hot peanut oil. Figure 3-6.
