FILTERING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE

Filter option is not available on Model E500D

It is recommended that the shortening/oil be filtered, at a minimum, on a daily basis. Filtering removes suspended food particles from the shortening/oil, preventing them from burning and imparting an undesirable taste to your food products. Proper filtering will increase the usable life of your shortening/oil. Old shortening/oil has a lower flash point and foams up more than clean oil.

For models with filter option refer to the following instructions.

WARNING

Shortening/oil, when it is at operating temperatures, is very hot and dangerous! Use extreme caution when filtering! Use proper protective gear, such as insulated gloves, aprons, face shield and sleeves when filtering or otherwise handling hot shortening/oil.

a.Insure that filter pan is placed properly in appliance and that filter paper is clean and serviceable. If the filter paper is not serviceable, replace the filter paper per the instructions in this manual.

DO NOT run the filter without a filter paper on the pickup assembly.

b.Connect the quick disconnect on the filter pickup assembly into white donut fitting on the left-hand side of the appliance. Ensure that it snaps tightly and securely into donut fitting. Connect quick disconnect on return hose to black donut fitting on the right-hand side of the appliance. Ensure that it snaps tightly and securely into donut fitting.

c.Perform the appropriate appliance shut down for your appliance type per the instructions in this manual.

WARNING

Ensure that the appliance is turned OFF before opening the drain valve.

d.Open the drain valve for the fryer to be filtered and allow the shortening/oil to drain into the filter pan.

WARNING

NEVER drain more than one tank at a time into the filter pan. The filter pan will only

hold one (1) tank at a time.
