Usage Features

The operation of the VEVOR Oil Fryer Filter involves several steps to ensure proper and safe use:

Setup:

  1. Remove the Oil Filter from its packaging, ensuring all protective packaging, plastic, and residues are cleaned from its surfaces.
  2. Lay out all components of the Oil Filter on the floor, ready for assembly.
  3. An Allen key is required to assist in the assembly process.
  4. Assemble the oil gun to the main housing correctly.
  5. Put the filter paper and silicon seal ring into the pan.
  6. Place the rectangular stainless steel frame to cover the silicone seal ring, then filter net, and tighten the screws.
  7. It is crucial that the filter paper is installed in the order shown in the figure, and the filter paper (A-2) must be installed on top of the filter (A-1); otherwise, the machine may not work and be empty.

Operation:

  1. Ensure that the filter paper is fresh and in place properly. Refer to instructions if you need to replace or install the filter paper.
  2. Ensure that you have the filter machine plugged in and turned OFF, and the oil draining valve on the oil gun and main housing (Model LYC-38L, LYC-38L-EU, LYC-55L, LYC-55L-EU) is in the "OFF" position.
  3. Open your fryer and attach the drain valve extension.
  4. Position the front of the filter machine under the fryer drain valve extension.
  5. Turn the fryer power switch OFF.
  6. Open the drain valve on the fryer and allow the frypot oil to drain into the filter machine.
  7. With the filter machine hose positioned in its holster on the machine, turn the filter machine ON as the oil drains into the machine.
  8. Allow the machine to pump the oil through the paper and cycle it back into the machine until the oil has been filtered.
  9. Once all of the oil has drained from the fryer and has been filtered through the machine, turn the machine OFF and close the drain valve on the fryer.
  10. Move the filter machine hose from the machine and into the frypot and turn the machine back on.
  11. Return the oil to the fryer and allow the filter machine to run for 10-15 seconds after no more oil comes through the hose.
  12. For added safety of the filter pipe, please lift the pipe to vertical position and open the draining valve on the bottom of the pipe to filter thoroughly the residue oil, or it'll become solid and blocked the pipe.
  13. WARNING: DO NOT OVERFILL THE OIL FRYER FILTER.

Safety Precautions:

  • Serious Injury or Property Damage Can Occur if Proper Precautions Are Not Followed.
  • Because this equipment utilizes high voltage, it should only be installed and serviced by a licensed electrician or trained servicer. Attempting to install or service the equipment yourself could result in serious, potentially fatal injuries.
  • If an electrical shock is felt when touching equipment, shut off power immediately (pull cord or turn off circuit breaker) and call a trained servicer for repair. Failure to do so could result in serious, potentially fatal injuries.
  • Always turn the power switch off whenever the equipment is not used.
  • If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.
  • Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance can cause property damage, injury, or death. Read the installation, operating, and maintenance instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment.
  • DO NOT USE if the filter pan is not completely dry and free of water droplets.
  • DO NOT overfill the filter pan.
  • DO NOT use water jets to clean this equipment. Doing so will damage the unit and void the warranty.
  • DO NOT use the electrical cord as a leash to move the appliance.
  • DO NOT attempt to move this appliance or transfer hot liquids from one container to another when the unit is at operating temperature or filled with hot liquids.
  • DO NOT leave appliance unattended while draining or refilling with oil/shortening.
