4.2 Daily Filtration Operation
4.2.1 General Overview
The filter pump is turned on only after the oil is brought
to operating temperature and drained into the prepared
filter pan. The filter motor is then engaged and oil is
drawn through filter paper and pumped back into the fry-
pot. The frypot drain valve remains open during the fil-
tering process. Allow the oil to cycle through the filter
paper for approximately 5 minutes. At the end of 5 min-
utes, close the drain valve and allow the pump to fill the
frypot. Leave the pump running for ten to fifteen seconds
after bubbles appear in the frypot to ensure all oil is
pumped from the drain pan and the lines.
4.2.2 Filtering Tools
Assemble tools to be used for filtering. These are sup-
plied with the filter starter kit included with the fryer/filter
system:
• Frypot/Filter Brush—used to clean frypot and fil-
ter pan sides and bottom, heating elements, and to
dislodge sediment during filtration or oil change.
• Clean-Out Rod— used to dislodge heavy debris in the drain tube (when needed).
• Filter Powder.
• Filter Paper.
The following tools are not required, but are recommended to make the filtering task easier.
• Measuring Cup — used to measure filter powder.
• Stainless Steel Crumb Scoop — for removing large debris.
WARNING
Use caution and wear proper
protective clothing. The oil to
be filtered is at or near 350°F
(177°C). Ensure all hoses are
connected properly and drain
handles are in their proper
position prior to operating
any switches or valves. Fail-
ure to do this can result in
severe burns.
