2.Set the fryer thermostat at 350°F (177°C).
3.Once shortening has melted, stir oil to eliminate solid shortening in the cold zone (Fig. 10). All solid shortening must have melted completely.
4.Allow the fryer to idle at 350°F (177°C) for 10 minutes, if filtering from a cold start.
5.Turn the fryer off. Make sure filter tank and parts are properly assembled (pages 3 through 5). Make sure the filter drawer is completely closed before opening the drain valve. Open the drain valve and drain the shortening into the filter tank. Allow hot shortening to stand in the filter tank for approximately 6 to 10 minutes. Then proceed with steps 4 through 10 under Filtering Procedure when Using Liquid Shortening on pages 6 and 7.

FILTERING TIPS
•If filtering at the end of the day, make sure all the oil is returned to the fryer tank.
•Open the filter drawer approximately 1" to allow any oil in the return line to run back into the filter tank. This will take about 30 seconds to complete.
•Close the filter drawer. If solid shortening is used, follow the "Melt" procedure the next morning.
PERIODICALLY REMOVE EXCESS DEBRIS FROM THE FILTER
The following operation is required after filtering one or more batches, as needed:
1.Pull the filter drawer out and remove the filter tank cover from the filter tank.
2.Remove the crumb basket and empty any debris into the trash.
3.Remove the filter screen assembly.
4.Scrape debris from the bottom of the filter tank and from the screen assembly into the trash. NOTE: Scrape debris away from suction hole to avoid compacting debris in hole.
5.Reinstall the filter screen assembly and crumb basket.
6.Replace the filter tank cover. Close the drawer.
FLUSH AND DISCARD
1.Turn the fryer power OFF.
2.Make sure filter tank and parts are properly assembled (pages 3 through 5). Open the fryer tank drain lever (Fig. 11) of the fryer tank that holds oil that is to be discarded.
