NOTE: Your Wells fryer filtration system is designed to filter hot liquid shortening ONLY.
Water, cleaning agents or other liquids will damage the FILTER PUMP.
CAUTION: BURN HAZARD
THE FILTER RESERVOIR MAY BE HOT.
WEAR INSULATED GLOVES OR ALLOW THE FILTER
RESERVOIR TO COOL BEFORE TOUCHING IT.
BURN HAZARD / HOT OIL SPLATTER
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND GLOVES MUST BE WORN DURING
THE FILTERING PROCESS.
Hot oil may splatter, which could result in serious injury.
CAUTION:
D. FILTERING OIL
IMPORTANT: Filtering the cooking oil helps to ensure the quality of the food product.
Careful observation of the finished food product will help you determine your optimal filtering
frequency. (Example: filter the oil after each six loads of fresh breaded product.)
DO NOT attempt to filter cold oil(less than 300ºF/149ºC).
DO NOT store oil in the FILTER RESERVOIR overnight, or other extended period.
DO NOT attempt to pump cold oil. The filter pump will not pump cold oil through the FILTER
LEAF. Pumping cold oil will result in premature failure of the FILTER PUMP.
1. Press the POWER SWITCH (item 1) to the OFF position.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave the FRYER unattended during the filtering process.
Continuously monitor the oil level in the reservoir to avoid overflowing the reservoir
and spilling oil on the floor.
2. Remove and examine the FILTER RESERVOIR. MAKE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT NO
WATER EXISTS IN THE BOTTOM OF THE PAN. Verify that the FILTER LEAF is properly
installed, and that the SUCTION TUBE O-RING is in place and in good condition. Install
the FILTER RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY into the FRYER, making sure the SUCTION TUBE is
properly seated in the SUCTION RECEPTACLE.
3. FILTER POWDER absorbs acids and other contaminants in the cooking oil, allowing the
cooking oil to be used for a longer period of time before it must be replaced. Carefully and
slowly add the contents of one package of FILTER POWDER to the oil in the FRYPOT.
