3-9. FILTERING 1. Turn the main switch to the off position. Remove
OF SHORTENING and clean the fry basket in soap and water. Rinse
thoroughly.
DRAIN VALVE HANDLE
Best results are obtained when shortening is filtered at
the normal frying temperature.
2. Use a metal spatula to remove any build up from the
sides of frypot. Do not scrape burner tubes on gas
models, or heating elements on electric models.
Scraping the electric fryer elements, or the burner
tubes of the gas frypot, produces scratches in these

surfaces causing breading to stick and burn.
Figure 3-5
The filter drain pan must be as far back under fryer
as it will go, and the cover in place. Be sure the hole
in the cover lines up with the drain before opening
the drain. Failure to follow these instructions
causes splashing of shortening and could result in
personal injury.
Surfaces of fryer and baskets will be hot. Use care
when filtering to avoid getting burned.
3.
Open door(s) under unit, and slowly turn drain
valve handle a half turn. Leave for a few minutes, then
Figure 3-6 slowly, fully open drain valve. This prevents much
splashing of the hot shortening as it drains. Figure 3-5.
4. As the shortening drains from the frypot, use brushes
to clean the sides of the frypot and the burner tubes or
heating elements. If the drain fills with breading, use
straight white brush to push excess breading into the
drain pan.
5. When all shortening has drained, scrape or brush the
sides and the bottom of the frypot. Use the lift tool
(Figure 3-6) and lift the elements (electric fryers), to
clean the bottom of the frypot. Figure 3-7.
