the fryer is the same.
NEVER
• Run the filter system without a filter bag/paper.
• Attempt to filter more than one fryer tank at a time.
• Empty the oil from the fryer before turning OFF the fryer burners.
• Store the UFM Filter Unit anywhere other than in the fryer filter cavity.

the crumb basket. Scrape previously filtered
residue off the filter paper. Examine the filter bag
for dark, scuffed, or tom areas. Refer to 3.1.1 for
filter bag replacement instructions for UFM fil¬
ters. Refer to 3.1.2 for built in filter paper
replacement procedures. Re-install the pan.

the clean out rod (12) to lift out the tube screens.
If there are excess crumbs in the fryer tank,
remove them with the crumb scoop (15).

shortening in fryer (2 cups for a Built-In filter #14 and 11 UFM filters, 3 cups for a Built-
In filter #18). After cleaning out the excess debris with the fryer scoop (15) sprinkle the
powder into the first fryer to be filtered and stir the powder into the oil.
