Electric Pressure Fryer Maintenance
 Close the lid to prevent shortening splashes.
 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

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.
