General Filter Hints - Pitco W14S-S WF Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

2.4.1 General Filter Hints

1. Ensure that all oil in the filter pan is returned before it cools and hardens. This is very
important if you are using solid shortening.
2. Always use Pitco Precoat® for fastest filtrations, maximum labor saving, and cleanest/
clearest shortening possible. Impaired filter performance will result without the use of a filter
aid.
3. The longevity of your oil is related to how clean you keep it. With a Pitco built in system, it is
easy to do a quick drain/refill anytime. By removing suspended particles often, it prevents
them from burning.
4. When the time it takes to refill the fryer after filtering exceeds 3:00 minutes per tank, scrape
the filter media. If scraping does not bring the refill time back down to less than 3:00 minutes,
thoroughly clean the filter media and replace as necessary.
5. The filter pump is protected from clogging by a special screen in
the pickup tub. Clean this screen thoroughly each time the filter is
cleaned or new filter media is installed (see Chapter 3).
6. If you have filter system problems refer to section 3.7.3.
7. Always check to ensure that the oil return line is connected securely
before filtering.
