4.5 Unit Operation (cont.)
DANGER
Do not leave filter unit unattended during the filtering operation.
Avoid spilling hot oil onto floor surfaces. When draining fryer into filter, never
exceed the maximum capacity of the filter pan.
DANGER
The oil temperature of the fryer to be filtered should be approximately 350°F (175°C).
Position drain handles properly prior to operating the filter unit. Failure to do this
can result in burn injury to the user.
4. Open the drain valve and allow the frypot oil to drain into the filter pan.
5. Ensure that the YPF95 filter faucet is located over the correct frypot. Turn the filter switch "ON" to
begin pumping filtered oil back into the fryer. Allow the oil to recycle through the fryer for a few
seconds to wash out sediment on the bottom of the frypot before closing the drain valve.
NOTE: The oil return wand can also be mounted in the wand holster inside the pan, for extended filtering
periods (polishing) prior to refilling frypot. NEVER LEAVE THE FILTER SYSTEM UNATTENDED WHILE
FILTERING!
6. When filtering is complete, close the drain valve handle. It takes approximately 5 to 7 minutes
for the filter to pump all the oil back into the fryer.
7. Before shutting off the filter, allow the pump to run for 10-15 seconds after air starts to sputter
through the faucet. Clearing residual shortening or oil from the return lines reduces the
likelihood of clogged lines.
NOTE: After filtering, scrape off debris and sediment accumulated on the filter paper and discard into a
fireproof container.
CAUTION
If using solid shortening, the return hose must be completely drained after filtering,
or the shortening will solidify and plug the hose or oil return lines as it cools.
NOTE: If filtration operations problems are encountered during use, please refer to Chapter 6 in this
manual.
