5-05. Using the Optional Stainless Filter Media Screen (SSFS)
This section describes use and care of the renewable, stainless steel, Filter Screen (SSFS). The SSFS is a direct
replacement for paper filter media that can cleaned and reused many times. It is an optional item (Giles #41017)
that can be ordered with new units, or purchased later as a filter paper alternative.
1. Place the SSFS into the Filter Pan same as filter paper. DO NOT use filter
paper and the Screen at the same time.
2. Be sure that the edge gasket is flat against Pan bottom. Position the
Hold-down Frame and lock into place with the locking levers. Levers may
not fully close when using the Screen ... this will not affect performance.
3. For best filtering results, always use an appropriate filter aid, such as Giles
#72004 Filter Powder. Distribute the prescribed amount evenly over the
surface, same as with filter paper.
4. After performing a regular filtering cycle, see Section 5-04, Filtering Used
Cooking Oil, clean accumulated filter sediment from the SSFS surface with
the supplied Crumb Shovel, or other suitable utensil, and discard. It
might be necessary to remove the Screen to brush remaining residue
from its surface.
5. If Screen is removed, do not allow filter residue to fall into the Filter Pan
bottom and be sure to wipe any residue from the edge gasket. Reinstall
screen with the soiled side up.
1. It is not necessary to wash the SSFS Filter Screen after every filtering
cycle.
2. On a weekly
basis, remove the SSFS Screen and clean it in a sink, using
ONLY
hot water and a soft bristle brush. DO NOT USE SOAP or OTHER
CLEANERS when washing the Screen. Doing so may affect oil life and
quality. Soap residue cannot be completely rinsed from the screen, and it
will eventually be transferred to cooking oil during subsequent filter
cycles.
4. DO NOT USE OVEN CLEANERS or CAUSTIC PRODUCTS
to clean the
Screen. These chemicals will damage the silicone edge gasket, and
residue will be transferred to cooking oil.
5. Before reinstalling the clean SSFS in the Filter Pan, shake off excess water
and dry with a clean towel. Be certain screen is completely dry before
using. If possible, it is best to allow screen to dry overnight.
6. Take care not to cut or tear the silicone edge gasket. Inspect the Screen
weekly for damage, such as fraying, holes, damaged gasket, etc. A
damaged screen should be removed from service and replaced
immediately.
