Operation of the Filter

Draining and filtering of oil must be accomplished with care to avoid the possibility
of a serious burn caused by careless handling. The oil to be filtered is at or near
350°F (177°C). Ensure drain handles are in their proper position before operating
any switches or valves. Wear all appropriate safety equipment when draining and
filtering oil.
NEVER attempt to drain oil from the fryer with the elements energized! Doing so will
cause irreparable damage to the elements and may cause a flash fire. Doing so will
also void the Frymaster warranty.
1. Ensure that the filter is prepared. See Sec. 4.2
2. Make sure the oil is at operating temperature.
3. Turn the fryer power OFF. Drain the
frypot into the filter pan. Remove the
basket support rack and raise the element
assembly to the up position. If necessary,
use the Fryer's Friend clean-out rod to
clear the drain from inside the frypot.
Do not drain more than one frypot at a time into the built-in filtration unit to avoid
overflow and spillage of hot oil.
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,
turn the filter handle to the ON position
to start the pump and begin the filtering
process. Make sure the drain valve is left
open. There may be a slight delay
before the pump activates.
