35 SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 4: FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
4-4
OPERATION OF THE FILTER UNIT
CAUTION
Never operate the filter unit unless the cooking oil in the fryers has been brought up
to cooking temperature.
1. To filter the cooking oil, turn the gas valve to pilot.
2. Open the drain valve on the fryer you have selected to be filtered. If necessary, use the Fryer's Friend
steel rod to clear the drain from inside the frypot as necessary.
DANGER
Never drain more than one fryer at a time—the filter pan may overflow.
When unclogging a valve, DO NOT insert anything into the drain from the front of the
fryer. Hot oil/shortening 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.
3. When the frypot is empty, use a long-handled, stiff brush to remove sediment from the sides of the fry-
pot. When cleaning the inside of the frypot, avoid striking the high limit thermostat and temperature
probe or operating thermostat.
