Troubleshooting the Filter Magic II Filtration System
Little or none, but
it is squirting out
around gasket.
Probable causes are power
shower holes plugged with
debris or solidified
oil/shortening in the Power
Shower tubing.
Move the filter handle to the
OFF position and remove the
unit from the frypot. Remove
the clean-out screws and
place the unit in a pan of hot
water for several minutes to
melt the oil/shortening. Insert
a straightened paper clip or
similarly sized wire into each
hole to clear any blockages.
Replace and tighten clean-out
screws. Reinstall Power
Shower, ensuring that it seats
properly in its receptacle.
Move the filter handle to the
ON position.
