5.3.2 Filtering Tools
Assemble tools to be used for filtering. These are supplied with the filter starter kit included with
the fryer/filter system:
• Frypot/Filter Brush - used to clean frypot and filter pan sides and bottom and to dislodge
sediment during filtration or shortening/oil change.
• Clean-Out Rod (design may vary)- used to dislodge heavy debris in the drain tube (when
needed).
• Filter Powder.
• Filter Paper.
The following tools are not required, but are recommended to make the filtering task easier.
• Measuring Cup - used to measure filter powder.
• Stainless Steel Crumb Scoop – for removing large debris from shortening/oil prior to
filtering.
Note: Always wear oil-resistant, insulated gloves and/or protective gear when
working with hot oil.
5.4 Operating the Filter
DANGER
Draining and filtering of cooking oil or shortening must be accomplished with care to
avoid the possibility of a serious burn caused by careless handling. The oil to be
filtered is at or near 350°C (177°C). Ensure all hoses are connected properly and
drain handles are in their proper position before operating any switches or valves.
Wear all appropriate safety equipment when draining and filtering cooking oil or
shortening.
DANGER
Allow oil/shortening to cool to 100°F (38°C) before draining into an appropriate
container for disposal.
