DANGER
When draining oil into a disposal unit or portable filter unit, do not fill above the
maximum fill line located on the container.
DANGER
NEVER attempt to drain cooking oil from the fryer with the burner lit! Doing so will
result in a flash fire if the oil splashes onto the burner. Also, applying burner heat to
an empty frypot will severely damage the frypot and void all applicable warranties
DANGER
NEVER attempt to clear a clogged drain valve from the front of the valve! Hot oil or
shortening will rush out creating the potential for severe burns.
DO NOT hammer on the drain valve with the cleanout rod or other objects. Damage
to the ball inside will result in leaks and will void all applicable warranties.
