4.4.2 Filter Operation (cont.)
5. After ensuring the filter pan is correctly positioned under the drain tube and the pan is properly
connected, open the drain valve by pulling the blue handle to the left. Drain only one frypot at a
time.
6. After all oil has drained from the frypot into the filter pan, twist the red handle to open the oil
return line and activate the filter pump.
7. Oil will begin to pump from the filter pan into the frypot. If the frypot has sediment deposits,
clean with the cleaning brush included with the fryer.
8. Allow the oil to circulate for approximately 30 minutes (process known as "polishing") to
remove suspended particles.
9. After the filter cycle is complete, close the drain valve (push the blue handle to the left until it
stops) and allow the fryer to refill.
10. After all oil is pumped back into the frypot, bubbles will form, indicating air in the oil return
lines. Allow the oil to bubble for 10-15 seconds to ensure all oil is evacuated from the return
lines. Twist the red handle to close the oil return valve and deactivate the filter pump.
11. If the oil level is low, add oil until the level is at the top OIL LEVEL line. Remember, the oil is
at operating temperature.
12. Replace the frypot grid, using care not to splash hot oil. Turn the fryer on.
The blue handle drains the frypot. The red handle operates the filter pump.
