2. The cooking oil must be hot (minimum of 300º F.) in order to filter properly. Cold oil will not flow
through the filter leaf. Place the POWER SWITCH to the FILTER position. DO NOT turn the
pump ON for more than 10 sec. without oil flowing.
3. Open the DRAIN LEVER. Use the "T"-SHAPED SCRAPER to push crumbs and breading from
the frypot sides down into the bottom of the FRYPOT. The WOOD DOWEL may be used to
unplug the drain hole if necessary.
4. While draining the oil, press the POWER SWITCH to FILTER. Pour the FILTER POWDER into
the oil at the point where it is being drawn down the drain.
5. After all the oil has drained from the FRYPOT, use the HI-TEMP BRUSH to push breading crumbs
and other debris down the drain.
6. After 5 minutes of oil circulation, close the DRAIN VALVE and allow the FRYPOT to fill with
the freshly filtered oil. When all the oil has returned to the FRYPOT, turn OFF the FILTER
SWITCH. Turn the POWER SWITCH to the OFF position until starting to use the fryer again.
7. Allow the FILTER RESERVOIR to cool before servicing. Refer to the IOM Manual (p/n
300007) for complete FILTER RESERVOIR maintenance instructions.
NOTE: Refrain from using soap in the FRYPOT or FILTER RESERVOIR. Soap residue
will cause the cooking oil to breakdown rapidly.
