CHAPTER 4: FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Drawings and photos used in this manual are intended to illustrate
operational, cleaning and technical procedures and may not conform to on-
site management operational procedures.
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.
4.1
Draining and Manual Filtering
DANGER
Draining and filtering of oil 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°F (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 oil.
DANGER
Allow oil to cool to 100°F (38°C) before draining into an appropriate container
for disposal.
DANGER
Do not drain more than one frypot at a time into the built-in filtration unit to
avoid overflow and spillage of hot oil.
DANGER
When draining oil into a disposal unit or portable filter unit, do not fill above the
maximum fill line located on the container.
If your fryer is not equipped with a built-in filtration system, the oil must be drained into
another suitable
METAL container. (For safe, convenient draining and disposal of used oil or
shortening, Frymaster recommends using the Frymaster Shortening Disposal Unit (SDU). The
SDU is available through your local distributor.)
1. Turn the fryer power switch to the OFF position. Screw the drainpipe (provided with
your fryer) into the drain valve. Make sure the drainpipe is firmly screwed into the drain
valve and that the opening is pointing down.
2. Position a metal container with a sealable cover under the drainpipe. The metal container
must be able to withstand the heat of the oil and hold hot liquids. If you intend to reuse
