FILTER PROCEDURES FOR
ENVELOPE PAPER FILTER SYSTEMS
NOTE
When working with hot oil ALWAYS wear
oil-proof, insulated gloves.
WARNING
NEVER • Run the filter system without a
filter bag/paper.
NEVER • Empty the oil from the fryer
before turning OFF the fryer burners.
NEVER • Store the UFM Filter Unit
anywhere other than in the fryer filter
cavity.
a. Slide the filter pan out. Carefully remove
filtered residue off the filter media. Examine
the filter media for clogged or torn areas.
Refer to filter media replacement instructions
following this section. Reinstall the pan.
b. Turn the fryer that is to be filtered OFF (See
Standby Shutdown). Remove the baskets
from the fryer tank(s). Use the clean out
brush to lift out the tube screens. If there are
excess crumbs in the fryer tank, remove them
with the crumb scoop.
c. If you have replaced the filter media or
remove crumbs and debris, sprinkle Precoat
Filter Aid on the filter paper.
d. Check the drain spout to ensure that it is in
the drain tower and over the filter pan open-
ing.
e. Slowly open the green handled drain valve
for the tank being filtered. If necessary use
the clean-brush to clear the crumbs from the
drain. Use the brush to clean the sides of the
tank as the oil drains.
f. Slowly open the green handled drain valve
for the tank being filtered. If necessary use
the clean-brush to clear the crumbs from the
drain. Use the brush to clean the sides of the
tank as the oil drains.
WARNING
This filter pan is only large enough to hold the
contents of one (1) tank at once, during the
filter process.
g. When the tank is empty, close the green handled
drain valve. Open the red handled return valve
to the tank you are filtering. This will start the
pump and return the oil to the bottom of the fry
tank.
h. When bubbles are seen coming out of the oil
return spout, close the red handled valve to turn
the pump off.
If necessary add more oil to the tank to return
the oil level to the fill mark. The fryer is now
ready for use.
DRAINING A TANK
The filter system is also used to drain the fryers. You will
need a container capable of holding 400 0 F oil and protec-
tive gloves.
a. Rotate the drain down spout so that it extends in
the container that you want to drain the shorten-
ing into.
b. Open the green handled drain valve for the tank
to be drained. The oil will drain into the con-
tainer you have chosen. When the container is
full or the fry tank is empty, close the green
handled drain valve. If the container was full
repeat this step until fryer tank is empty.
c. Once tank is completely empty add new
shortenning and follow fryer start up proce-
dures.
WARNING
The power supply
must be disconnected
before servicing or
cleaning the appliance.
FILTER MEDIA REPLACEMENT
The filter module stores neatly under the fryer when not
in use. The unit is very easy to use and allows for quick
installation and filtration, even under the busiest condi-
tions. Follow the procedures below to change the filter
media.
