4.3 Filtering
DANGER
When filtering, never leave the filter unattended. The filtered oil is at or near 350°F
(177°C). Ensure all hoses are connected properly and drain handles are in their
proper position prior to operating any switches or valves.
DANGER
The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a
fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles can
spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.
WARNING
Filter one frypot at a time. The filter pan is designed to safely hold the oil from one
fryer only.
1. The KFC-1 Computer must remain ON during filter operations for proper filter function.
NOTE: For FAST-equipped fryers, see the Fast manual for operation instructions.
2. Filter the shortening at least once daily or more frequently if cooking is heavy. This assures
the longest life possible for the shortening, a better taste to the food being prepared, and
minimizes flavors being transferred from batch to batch.
3. If using solid shortening, clear return lines before turning off the filter motor by allowing the
pump to run for approximately 15-30 seconds once air bubbles appear in the frypot from the
oil return line. Failure to do so increases the likelihood that solid shortening will solidify and
clog the lines.
NOTE: If using over-the-top oil return, allow the faucet to sputter for 15-30 seconds.
See Chapter 5 for detailed filtration procedures.
4.4 Closing
1. When closing at night, filter shortening in all fryers and drain the filter lines. Cover the
open tanks of oil. Turn the computer OFF.
2. When shutting down for periods longer than overnight, drain shortening and clean the frypot
thoroughly. After cleaning, discard the shortening or filter it and return it to the frypot.
Cover the frypot with the appropriate frypot cover. Turn both the power switch and
computer OFF.
