4.3.2 Filtering Tools
Assemble tools to be used 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 and to dislodge
sediment during filtration or shortening/oil change.
• Clean-Out Rod (design may vary) - used to dislodge heavy debris in the drain tube (when
needed).
• Filter Pad – Frymaster part number: 810-3527.
The following tools are not required, but are recommended to make the filtering task easier.
• Stainless Steel Crumb Scoop – for removing large debris from oil prior to filtering.
Note: Always wear oil-resistant, insulated gloves and/or protective gear when
working with hot oil.
4.4 Operating the Filter
DANGER
Draining and filtering of cooking oil must be accomplished with care to avoid the
possibility of a serious burn caused by careless handling. The oil to be filtered is at
or near 350°F (177°C). Ensure all hoses are connected properly and drain handles
are in their proper position before operating any switches or valves. Wear all
appropriate safety equipment when draining and filtering cooking oil or shortening.
DANGER
Allow oil to cool to 100°F (38°C) before draining into an appropriate container for
disposal.
DANGER
Do not drain more than one frypot at a time into the built-in filtration unit to avoid
overflow and spillage of hot oil/shortening.
