CHAPTER 5: FILTRATION
5-1
5.1 General
WARNING
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of
the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects
of oil filtration, draining, and cleaning procedures.
To conduct filter operations with the KFC-1 Cooking Computer installed on the fryer,
ALWAYS leave the computer ON when filtering. The computer must sense the drain valves
opening and closing in order to allow fryer operation.
For consistent product quality, convenience, and long-term savings use a high-quality liquid
shortening or vegetable oil.
If using solid shortening, always ensure the return lines are clear before turning off the filter pump.
Hang any flexible lines up to drain. Solid shortening will solidify as it cools and clog the lines.
5.2 Filter Preparation
Assemble filtering tools. These are supplied with
the filter starter kit (at right):
• L-shaped Teflon Brush: Used to clean
frypot sides, heating tubes, and to dislodge
sediment during filtration or oil change.
• Clean-out Rod: 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: Used to remove large debris from oil prior to filtering.
NOTE: Always wear oil-resistant, insulated gloves and/or protective gear when working with
hot oil.
