Preface
The Shortening Filter is designed to do the
following things:
• To filter shortening
• To pump filtered shortening into fryer
kettles
• To rinse fryer kettles with shortening
It is not designed to melt shortening or to filter or
pump anything other than shortening.
ATTENTION
The SF Filter is not designed for use with
non-liquid Trans Fat Free shortening. Use
of non-liquid Trans Fat Free shortening
will void the warranty for the Filter Pump
and Motor.
The machine is available with the following
electrical configurations:
• 115 volts, 1 phase, 50/60 hertz
• 220/240 volts, 1 phase, 50/60 hertz
The Shortening Filter is designed to be used on a
flat, dry floor, underneath the drain of a fryer
kettle. The operator must work safely at all
times and read this manual and follow its
instructions and warnings.
Study the instructions and warnings in this
manual carefully. A thorough understanding of
how to install, maintain, and safely operate the
Shortening Filter will prevent production delays
and injuries.
To use the Shortening Filter safely, heed the
following warnings and all other warnings that
appear in this manual:
• Never let water and hot shortening come in
contact with each other. Moisture causes hot
shortening to spatter, which may cause
serious burns.
• Do not overfill the kettle of the Shortening
Filter with shortening. If shortening
overflows the kettle, it could cause serious
burns or could cause someone to slip on the
floor and be seriously injured.
• Hot shortening can cause serious burns.
Make sure that proper protective gear (face
shield, gloves and apron) are worn before
filtering, disassembly and cleaning.
• To avoid electrocution or other injury,
unplug the machine before attempting any
adjustment, repair, disassembly, or cleaning.
• To avoid damaging the machine, never use
force to assemble, disassemble, operate,
clean, or maintain it.
• Be careful never to get shortening, water, or
other materials on the floor. If anything does
get spilled on the floor, mop it up
immediately. Materials on the floor can
cause people to slip or fall, resulting in
serious injury or loss of life.
• To prevent unintentional startup and possible
shortening spillage or fire, unplug the
machine if there is a local power outage.
When the power is restored, it is safe to plug
the machine in again.
• To avoid electrocution, make sure that all
electrical cords are not frayed or cracked and
that they do not pass through any water or
shortening.
• Make sure that all electrical cords are routed
so that no one will trip over them.
