Frymaster LOV BIGL30 Series Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual page 28

NEVER attempt to drain cooking oil from the fryer with the burners lit! Doing so will
cause irreparable damage to the frypot and may cause a flash fire. Doing so will also
void the Frymaster warranty.
1. Ensure that the filter is prepared. See Section. 4.1.
2. Make sure the oil is at operating temperature.
3. Drain the frypot into the filter pan by rotating the drain valve handle 90º (see Figure 5). If
necessary, use the Fryer's Friend clean-out rod to clear the drain from inside the frypot.
Figure 5
Do not drain more than one frypot at a time into the built-in filtration unit to avoid
overflow and spillage of hot oil that may cause severe burns, slipping and falling.
NEVER attempt to clear a clogged drain valve from the front of the valve! Hot oil will
rush out creating the potential for severe burns.
DO NOT hammer on the drain valve with the cleanout rod or other objects. Damage
to the ball inside will result in leaks and will void the Frymaster warranty.
4. After the oil has drained from the frypot,
rotate the filter handle towards the "I" to
start the pump and begin the filtering
process. There may be a slight delay
before the pump activates (see Figure 6).
5. The filter pump draws the oil through the filter medium and circulates it back up to and through
the frypot during a filter.
6. After the oil is filtered (about 5 minutes), close the drain valve allow the fryer to refill. Let the
filter pump run 15 to 30 seconds after the oil begins to bubble.
7. Ensure the drain valve is fully closed. (If the drain valve is not fully closed, the fryer will not
operate.)
8. Turn the filter off by rotating the handle to original position.
