WARNING
Failure to make sure that the thermostat is in the OFF position during the following procedure may result in
equipment damage and/or personal injury.
4. Stir 8 ounces of Blodgett Range filter powder into the oil of the fryer. The filter powder helps extend oil life by
removing impurities.
5. Allow the oil to cool for 3 minutes after adding the filter powder.
6. Slowly open the drain valve handle beneath the frypot. The drain is opened by turning the handle so that it is
aligned with the drain outlet pipe. Use care when opening this valve to avoid being splashed by hot oil. If
necessary, use a small diameter brush to ream-out the drain from inside the frypot to open any clogs which might
develop as the oil drains
7. Connect the filter discharge hose to the quick disconnect fitting (see Figure 4). Always make sure that the hose
coupling is securely mated to the quick disconnect fitting before turning on the pump.
8. Position the wand end of the filter discharge hose over the now empty frypot. Always grasp the filter discharge
hose by the wooden sleeve near the wand end.
9. Place the filter’s power switch in the ON position.
10. Leave the fryer’s drain valve open to allow the filtered oil being pumped to the frypot to drain out the bottom
through the drain valve. Use a large brush to “wash-down” the frypot with the hot oil as it circulates through the
frypot. Use care to avoid being splashed and burned by the hot oil. Continue doing this for at least 2 minutes.
11. Close the fryer drain valve.
12. Allow all of the filtered oil to be pumped to the frypot. The oil will begin to bubble as the pumping is completed
and air fills the filter discharge hose. Place the pump switch in the OFF position.
13. If necessary, add oil to the fryer to bring the oil level up to the proper level.
14. Adjust the fryer thermostat to the desired cooking temperature, and heat the oil until it reaches the proper
cooking temperature.
15. Replace the filter paper (see page 10) daily, or more often, if necessary.

The fryer cleaning process known as a “boil-out” should be performed when necessary, and every time the fryer oil is
replaced.
WARNING
Perform the steps of this procedure as described to avoid possible equipment damage, violation of warranty
provisions, or personal injury.
1. Wear thermal oven mitts during this procedure to protect your skin from bums due to splashing of hot liquids.
2. Make sure that two sheets of filter are properly positioned in the filter pan as described on page 10.
3. If the oil in the fryer is “cold” (that is, at room temperature), first heat the oil briefly so that it is liquid enough to be
removed by the filter system. Turn the fryer thermostat to 150°F and heat the oil until the burners go out. Stir the
oil well to make sure that it is fully dissolved. Stirring may cause the burners to come on again briefly. Wait for the
burners go out again.
4. Place the fryer thermostat in the OFF position and wait two minutes.
5. Slowly open the drain valve handle beneath the frypot. The drain is opened by turning the handle so that it is
aligned with the drain outlet pipe. Use care when opening this valve to avoid being splashed by hot oil. If
necessary, use a small diameter brush to ream-out the drain from inside the frypot to open any clogs which might
develop as the oil drains.
6. Connect the filter discharge hose to the quick disconnect fitting (see Figure 4). Always make sure that the hose
coupling is securely mated to the quick disconnect fitting before turning on the pump.
7. Position the wand end of the filter discharge hose over the now empty frypot. Always grasp the filter discharge
hose by the wooden sleeve near the wand end.
8. Place the filter’s power switch in the ON position.
