PORTABLE FILTER
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A. PREPARING THE PORTABLE FILTER
1.Remove screen from over tubes/element with tongs or a Drain Clean Out Rod (See Figure 1.1).

2.Heat fryers to 325°F. Stir oil thoroughly until all water is removed and shut fryer off (including pilot light) before filtering. (Figure 1.2)
NOTE: Water settles in the cooler oil in the Cold Zone. If the water is not removed, the filter paper absorbs the water preventing the oil from passing through it.
OIL IS HOT. USE CARE WHEN FILTERING.
