FILTERING THE OIL
Hot oil and hot parts can cause burns. Use care when operating,
cleaning, and servicing the fryer.
Filter shortening at least once a day.
1. A cold fryer will not drain properly. Always filter shortening between 250°F and
350°F. The shortening in the cold zone area will remain hard if not heated properly.
If necessary, use the clean-out rod to carefully stir the hard shortening to an area
above the cold zone where it will melt.
2. Open the door to the fryer. The power must remain ON for the fryer to filter
correctly.
3. Insert the drain extension into the drain valve. Tighten only hand tight.
4. Direct the drain extension into mobile filtering device.
5. Slowly open the drain valve to allow oil to flow from the fry tank to the filter pan or
discard container. The heating elements will turn off automatically.
6. When fry tank is empty use the tank brush to remove any additional debris.
7. Close the drain valve.
8. Fill tank with new shortening. Fill to a minimum of the MIN level but no high that
halfway between MIN and MAX. Oil will expand as it is heated.
9. Press the start button only after step 9 is fully completed. The fryer will begin to
heat the shortening.
