E. PROBLEM: OIL NOT RETURNING TO FRYPOT DURING FILTER CYCLE
The surface of the FILTER LEAF may become clogged with crumbs or other debris. If this
happens:
a. Turn OFF the OVAL DRAIN VALVE HANDLE (item 19) and press the POWER
SWITCH to OFF.
b. Using appropriate gloves, carefully and very slowly slide the FILTER RESERVOIR out
approximately 6”. Gently run the STAINLESS STEEL SHOVEL across the surface of
the FILTER LEAF and scrape the crumbs toward the rear. Carefully and very slowly
slide the FILTER RESERVOIR back into place, making sure the SUCTION TUBE is
properly seated in the RECEPTACLE.
F. PROBLEM: FILTER PUMP WON’T PUMP, or PUMPS AIR DURING FILTERING
BUBBLES in the oil while filtering, and/or a failure of the pump to achieve or maintain prime
indicate that air is entering the suction side of the pump.
1. Examine the SUCTION TUBE O-RING. A damaged
or improperly seated O-RING can cause the FILTER
PUMP to lose suction. This will result in a failure to
filter the oil, and in a failure of the oil to be returned to
the FRYPOT.
Replace SUCTION TUBE O-RING if it is missing,
cracked, distorted or scuffed.
2. Verify that he SUCTION TUBE is fully seated in the
SUCTION LINE RECEPTACLE.
