WARNING
Use caution and wear proper protective clothing. 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 prior to operating any switches or valves. Failure to do this can
result in severe burns.
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.
4.4.1 General Overview
Only filter oil at operating temperature (~350°F/~177°C). When filtering begins, the filter motor
engages and oil is drawn through filter paper or a filter-leaf assembly and pumped back into the
frypot through oil return plumbing. The frypot’s drain remains open during the filtering process,
allowing oil to filter through the frypot and back into the filter unit. Allow the oil to cycle through
this process for approximately 5 minutes. At the end of 5 minutes, close the drain valve and allow
the frypot to fill to the top OIL LEVEL line. Leave the pump running for 10-15 seconds after
bubbles appear in the frypot to ensure all oil is pumped from the drain pan and the lines. Close the
oil return valve.
The filter pan slides under
the fryer (left), connecting
with a male connector
(right). Ensure that the
pickup tube is securely
coupled with this
connector. Its location
may vary based on model.
