Gas Pressure Fryer Maintenance
 Position
the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to FILTER and shortening will automatically pump into the
pot.
 After 1 minute carefully open the lid to check the level of the shortening.
 Let the filter continue to pump the shortening until the fill mark in the fryer pot is reached or until
air starts bubbling through the shortening.
 As soon as air is seen in the shortening, position the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to OFF to prevent
shortening degradation and prevent the filter pump and lines from filling up with shortening.
 Add new shortening if the fill mark has not been reached.
To refill the pot through the rinse hose, use the steps below:
 Make certain that the rinse hose is connected to it’s mating part on the FKF filter unit or portable
filter unit.
 Holding the hose by the handle, place hose nozzle inside the pot.
Hot shortening may splash out of the pot causing severe injury when filling the pot if the
lid is not held down over the hose nozzle. To prevent shortening splashes, hold the lid
down over the hose nozzle.
 Hold the lid down over the hose nozzle to prevent shortening splashes.
 Position
the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to FILTER and shortening will automatically pump into the
pot.
 After 1 minute, hold the hose by the handle and carefully raise the lid to check the level of the
shortening.
 Let the filter continue to pump the shortening until the fill mark in the fryer pot is reached or until
air starts bubbling through the shortening.
 As soon as air is seen in the shortening, position the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to OFF to prevent
shortening degradation.
 Add new shortening if the fill mark has not been reached.
Boil-Out Procedure
Boil-outs remove microscopic particles of carbon that build up on the walls of the fryer pot. To avoid eventual
carbon build-up, off flavors, and shortening breakdown, boil-outs should be done once a week on each fryer
following these procedures.
Always wear appropriate personal protection equipment during the boil-out process to
guard against possible injury from hot cleaning solution.
1. Position the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to OFF.
2. Drain the clean shortening into an adequate storage container. (Allow the shortening to cool to room
temperature before attempting storage.)
