2. Wait for the shortening to cool to the right
temperature for filtering, as indicated by the
fryer’s thermometer.
Shortening should be cooled to 250 °F/121°C.
WARNING
Maximum filtering temperature is
325°F/163°C
Because hot shortening is dangerous,
FILTER SHORTENING AT THE LOWEST
TEMPERATURE THAT WORKS. Hot
shortening may also trip the pump motor.
WARNING
Be careful with hot shortening. It can cause
serious burns.
3. When the shortening has cooled to the right
temperature for filtering, position the
Shortening Filter so its filter bag is directly
underneath the drain of the fryer.
4. Place the outlet nozzle of the hose into the
fryer kettle.
5. Connect the Shortening Filter to an
appropriate power source, as specified on the
data plate.
WARNING
Make sure the filter is directly under the
fryer’s drain valve before you open the
valve. If it is not, shortening will get on the
floor, possibly resulting in slips, falls, injury,
or even death. If the shortening is hot,
someone could be seriously burned.
6. Slowly open the fryer’s drain valve. The
shortening will drain into the Shortening
Filter. Note: Do not open the valve
completely, as shortening may splash.
7. To rinse the fryer kettle with shortening, grasp
the hose by the black handle, direct the nozzle
into the fryer kettle, and turn on the filter
pump.
8. After the power has been turned on, the
footswitch (see Figure 2-1) must be depressed
in order to start the pump.
9. When you are done rinsing the fryer kettle,
turn off the filter pump and allow the fryer
kettle to drain into the Shortening Filter.
10. When all the shortening has drained into the
Shortening Filter, close the fryer’s drain
valve.
11. Being sure that the nozzle of the hose is in the
fryer’s kettle, turn on the filter pump and
depress the footswitch to transfer the filtered
shortening to the fryer.
12. When you are done transferring shortening,
turn off the filter pump.
13. Unplug the machine.
