CF SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 4: FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
4-2
If you are using a Frymaster filter cone holder, be sure that the cone holder rests securely on the
metal container.
3. Open the drain valve slowly to avoid splattering. If the drain valve becomes clogged with food
particles, use the Fryer’s Friend (poker-like tool) to clear the blockage.
DANGER
DO NOT insert anything into the drain from the front to unclog the valve. Hot oil will
rush out, creating an extreme hazard.
WARNING
DO NOT hammer on the drain valve with the Fryer’s Friend. This will damage the
drain valve ball and prevent the valve from sealing securely, resulting in a leaky
valve.
4. After draining the oil, clean all food particles and residual oil from the frypot. If the fryer is
equipped with a float switch, clean it at this time. The float switch prevents frypot damage in the
event the power switch is not OFF while draining used oil. The float switch must be cleaned on
a regular basis to ensure proper operation. Use caution as frypot residue can cause severe burns if
it contacts bare skin.
5. Close the drain valve securely and fill the frypot with clean, filtered or fresh cooking oil or solid
shortening to the bottom OIL-LEVEL line.
DANGER
When using solid shortening, pack it down into the cool-zone and the bottom of the
frypot. DO NOT operate the fryer with a block of shortening sitting in the upper
portion of the frypot. Irreparable damage to the frypot and a potential flash fire will
result.
