WARNING

This filter pan is only large enough to hold the contents of one (1) tank at once, during the filter process.

g.When the tank is empty, close the green handled drain valve. Open the red handled return valve to the tank you are filtering. This will start the pump and return the oil to the bottom of the fry tank.

h.When bubbles are seen coming out of the oil return spout, close the red handled valve to turn the pump off.

If necessary add more oil to the tank to return the oil level to the fill mark. The fryer is now ready for use.

DRAINING A TANK

The filter system is also used to drain the fryers. You will need a container capable of holding 4000F oil and protec- tive gloves.

a.Rotate the drain down spout so that it extends in the container that you want to drain the shorten- ing into.

b.Open the green handled drain valve for the tank to be drained. The oil will drain into the con- tainer you have chosen. When the container is full or the fry tank is empty, close the green handled drain valve. If the container was full repeat this step until fryer tank is empty.

c.Once tank is completely empty add new shortenning and follow fryer start up proce- dures.

WARNING The power supply

must be disconnected before servicing or cleaning the appliance.
