4.2 Daily Filter Operation
WARNING
Use caution and wear proper protective clothing whenever filtering. The oil to be
filtered is at or near 350°F (175°C). Ensure all hoses are connected properly and
drain handles are in their proper position prior to operating any switches or valves.
Failure to do this can result in severe burns.
WARNING
Drawings and photos used in this manual are intended to illustrate operational,
cleaning and technical procedures and may not conform to on-site management
policies and/or operational procedures.
4.2.1 General Overview
The filter pump is turned on only after the oil is brought to operating temperature and drained into
the prepared filter pan. The filter motor is then engaged and oil is drawn through filter paper and
pumped back into the frypot. The frypot drain valve remains open during the filtering process.
Allow the oil to cycle through the filter paper for approximately 5 minutes. At the end of 5 minutes,
close the drain valve and allow the pump to fill the frypot to the bottom OIL LEVEL line. Leave the
pump running for 10-15 seconds after bubbles appear in the frypot to ensure all oil is pumped from
the drain pan and the lines.
4.2.2 Filtering Tools
Assemble the tools needed for filtering. These are supplied with the filter starter kit included with
the fryer/filter system:
• Frypot/Filter Brush - used to clean frypot and filter pan sides and bottom, heating elements,
and to dislodge sediment during filtration or oil change.
• Clean-Out Rod (design may vary)- used to dislodge heavy debris in the drain tube (when
needed).
• Filter Powder.
• Filter Paper.
• Disposal hose.
The following tools are not required, but are recommended to make the filtering task easier.
• Measuring Cup — used to measure filter powder.
• Stainless Steel Crumb Scoop — for removing large debris.
NOTE: Always wear oil-resistant, insulated gloves and/or protective gear when working
with hot oil.
