Pitco E7 User Manual

WARNING
At operating temperature the shortening temperature will be greater than will
be greater than 300°F. Extreme care should be used when filtering operating
temperature shortening to avoid personal injury.
2.6.1 General Filter Hints
1. Ensure that all oil in the filter pan is returned before it cools and hardens. This is very
important if you are using solid shortening.
2. Always use Pitco Precoat® for fastest filtrations, maximum labor saving, and cleanest/
clearest shortening possible. Impaired filter performance will result without the use of
a filter aid.
3. The longevity of your oil is related to how clean you keep it. With a Pitco built in system,
it is easy to do a quick drain/refill anytime. By removing suspended particles often, it
prevents them from burning.
4. When the time it takes to refill the fryer after filtering exceeds the time shown below,
scrape the filter bag or paper. If scraping does not bring the refill time back down change
the filter paper as described in 3.1.1 (UFM) or 3.1.2 (Built in).
Model Refill Time
7 2:00 Minutes
14 (all models) 3:00 Minutes
18 5:00 Minutes
5. Built-In Systems - Disconnect the filter pan hose after filtering to allow the hot shortening
to drain.
6. Flush Hose /Optional) - If your fryer has a flush hose allow it to drain completely before
storing.
7. If you have filter system problems refer to section 3.7.3 for built-in filters and 3.7.4 for
UFM filters.
8. Always check to ensure that the black quick disconnect (oil return line) is completely
engaged before filtering. When connecting the quick disconnect, you will feel a definite
snap and hear a click when the connection is made. After connecting the hose, gently pull
on the connection to make sure it is connected.
9. The filter power MUST be plugged into the fryer at all times.
10. Purge the filter lines by allowing the filter pump to run 15 seconds after air bubbles are
seen inside the fryer tank.
