10 - COOKING OIL CARE AND FILTERING
OIL CARE
DANGER: Use care when handling
hot oil. Oil could splash causing seri-
ous burns.
Maximum oil life depends on proper care.
See FILTERING and CLEANING. It is very
important if the finished product is to be pre-
sentable and edible. Useful oil life can be
affected by many things:
Oil Quality: Poor quality oil will require
replacement more often.
Temperature: Lowering oil temperature
setting during slow periods or between busi-
ness rushes will extend useful oil life.
Volume: The more product cooked, the
more often oil will need filtering and replac-
ing.
Type of Coating and Seasoning Used:
Ingredients in some coatings can effect the
appearance of end product and shorten the
useful oil life.
Amount of Care and Filtering Oil
Receives: DO NOT leave any crumb build
up in oil, on cooking well or on food basket.
See FILTERING. Oil will need replacing
more often if improperly maintained. Strain-
ing methods only remove crumbs. By using
a built in filter, Broaster
®
filter paper and
Broaster
®
filtering compounds, you can
increase useful oil life up to 200%.
How can you tell if oil should be replaced? It
will show signs of increased smoking or
foaming. If not discarded, safety and prod-
uct quality could be sacrificed.
FILTERING
Filter oil after cooking approximately 35 lbs.
(1600) or 65 lbs. (1800) of product, between
rush periods and always at the end of each
day. Filter oil at 360° F.
WARNING: DO NOT use filter pan to
transport hot oil. Hot oil could splash
causing serious burns.
Be sure filter components are assembled
correctly. Correct order is filter screen (1)
on bottom of filter pan, filter paper (2), filter
hold down (3) and one cup (1600) or two
cups (1800) of Bro-Clean filtering compound
on top of filter paper and/or 5 oz. (1600) or
10 oz. (1800) of XL filtering compound to
cooking well.
1. Be sure filter pan, with components, is
installed under unit. Make sure O-ring
is installed on riser line (1800) or inside
suction line (1600). Ensure that riser
line is fully inserted into suction line.
Turn cook/filter switch OFF and OPEN
cooking well cover.
