Filtering Procedure
Breaded foods require frequent filtering. An excess amount of breading left in the fryer pot will reduce the life of
the shortening. We recommend the shortening be filtered after every three frying cycle loads. If the shortening
starts to show signs of foaming or has a bad taste, do not use it. The fryer pot should be cleaned before refilling
with new shortening. Best results for filtering are obtained while the shortening is hot. You should filter at the end
of every business day.
1. Set the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to OFF.
2. Make certain that the filter pad is clean and not torn.
IMPORTANT: Make certain the vat cover is properly positioned underneath the drain valve. Also
make certain the filter vat and filter screen is under the main drain valve before starting the filtering
process.
3. Move the DRAIN handle slowly to the OPEN position so that the shortening starts to flow evenly. This
is to prevent excessive splashing of hot shortening.
4. When the pot is empty, place the DRAIN handle in the CLOSED position.

Maintenance

Failure to comply with the maintenance below could result in a serious accident.
Do not over-tighten the spindle assembly. (Only tighten to hold pressure.)
Your fryer will need periodic maintenance and servicing. We strongly suggest that you
use only a service company that is authorized by BKI to do this work.
The restraining device must always be connected when the appliance is in service.
Disconnect for movement, such as servicing or cleaning. Reconnect the restraint when
fryer has been returned to its normal position.
