SUFF/UFF FILTRATION SYSTEMS
CHAPTER 4: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
4-1
4.1 General
Cleaning operations fall into three general categories:
• Wiping unit clean after each filter session;
• Cleaning filter or filter-leaf assembly, changing filter paper (systems without filter-
leaf), and preparing the unit for the next day’s business.
• Weekly cleaning to remove oil deposits and other particles.
CAUTION
Never operate the filter unit unless cooking oil is at operating temperature.
4.2 Each Filter Use
Every time the SUFF/UFF filter system is used:
• Wash down the insides of the filter pan with hot oil.
• Change the filter paper (not applicable to filter-leaf equipped systems; see
CLEANING THE FILTER-LEAF ASSEMBLY below) after each filter session or at
the end of the day. Scrape sediment from the filter paper after each frypot is filtered
and dispose of it in a fireproof container.
• Wipe away any oil.
• Wipe all exterior surfaces of the filter unit.
CLEANING THE FILTER-LEAF ASSEMBLY
Filters equipped with a filter-leaf require specific cleaning and assembly procedures. In the
absence of cleaning and disassembly/reassembly instructions shipped with the filter-leaf, use
the following procedure (see illustration on next page):
Grasp the seal frame near each corner at the locking tab (
1
) and pull frame apart. The seal
frame will separate into two pieces. Separate the top and bottom screens ( 2 and 3 ) and
remove the grid ( 4 ). Assemble in reverse order (see illustration on next page).
Clean the two seal frame pieces, screens and grid using a good quality degreaser and hot
water from a spray nozzle. The groove in the seal frame pieces can be cleaned with the edge
of a Scotch-Brite™ type cleaning pad.
