instructions. Reinstall the pan.
b. Turn the fryer that is to be filtered OFF (See Standby Shutdown). Remove the baskets from
the fryer tank(s). Use the clean out rod (8) to lift out the tube screens. If there are excess
crumbs in the fryer tank, remove them with the crumb scoop(l 1).
c. If you have replaced or scraped the filter media, stir in Precoat Filter Aid (9) to the oil in fryer
(2 packets per fry tank being filtered). After cleaning out the excess debris with the fryer
scoop (11) sprinkle the powder into the first fry tank to be filtered and stir the powder into the
oil.
d. Check the drain spout to ensure that it is over the filter cover opening. Adjust the cover or
slide the filter pan as necessary to line up the drain and the cover opening.
e. Slowly open the green handled drain valve (2) for the tank being filtered. If necessary use the
clean-out rod (8) to clear the crumbs from the drain. Use the long handled brush (10) to clean
the sides of the tank as the oil drains.
This filter pan is large enough to filter all three tanks at once.
f. When the tank is empty, close the green handled drain valve. Open the red handled return
valve (1) to the tank you are filtering. This will start the pump and return the oil to the bottom
of the fry tank. As the tank fills, brush the inside of the tank to remove crumbs.
g. When bubbles are seen coming out of the oil return spout, close the red handled valve to turn
the pump off. Open the green handled drain valve (2) and allow the tank to drain again. Repeat
steps b through d until the tank is clean.
