Operation of the Filter
DANGER
Draining and filtering of cooking oil must be accomplished with care to avoid the
possibility of a serious burn caused by careless handling. The oil to be filtered is at
or near 350°F. Ensure drain handles are in their proper position before operating
any switches or valves. Wear all appropriate safety equipment when draining and
filtering cooking oil or shortening.
DANGER
NEVER attempt to drain cooking oil from the fryer with the elements energized!
Doing so will cause irreparable damage to the elements and may cause a flash fire.
Doing so will also void the Frymaster warranty.
1. Ensure that the filter is prepared. See
Sec. 4.2.
2. Make sure the oil is at operating
temperature.
3. Turn the fryer power OFF. Drain the
frypot into the filter pan by rotating the
valves 90º. If necessary, use the Fryer's
Friend clean-out rod to clear the drain
from inside the frypot.
