Shutting The Fryers Down For A Short Time; On Non Electronic Ignition Fryers; Shutting The Fryers Down For An Extended Time - Pitco 12 Installation, Operating & Service Instructions

NOTE: On machines equipped with Digital Controls or Computers that are programmed with a melt cycle, the
main burners will pulse on and off to slowly heat the oil. When the oil temperature has reached a preset level the
main burners will run constantly until the set temperature has been reached.
FILTERING:
Filtering is recommended on a daily basis to keep the oil in as
good a condition as possible. Follow the instructions below and
refer to the appropriate Figure for your machine.
1. Turn the fryer OFF as described in the "SHUTTING THE
FRYERS DOWN FOR AN EXTENDED TIME" section.
2. For Built In Filters (Filters located in a separate, but attached
cabinet. Figure 1): Detach the Quick Disconnect at the end of the
Return Hose and slide the tank outward. Pull the front and rear
Hold Down handles from their locked position, and lift the
Retaining Frame out. Lift the old filter paper out and replace with
a new paper. Install the Hold Down Rack and replace the
handles in a locked position. Push the pan back into place and
attach the hose.
3. For UFM (Filters that are stored under the actual fryers. Figure
2): Detach the Quick Disconnect at the end of the Return Hose
and pull the filter unit out from under the fryers. Pull the White
handle apart on the Pickup. Unscrew the Pickup tube from the
filter screen and lift the Clip Screen from the Support Screen and
Paper. Remove the Support Screen from the Paper envelope
and place it in a new Paper envelope. Fold the open end of the
paper over twice and place the Clip Screen over the folded end of the paper. Screw the Pickup onto the screen
and place it in the pan. Push the Pickup into its receptacle and push the filter under the fryer. Attach the Return
Hose.
4. Open the GREEN drain valve for the fryer to be filtered. Allow the
oil to drain from the fry tank. NEVER - Open more than ONE
drain valve at the same time as the filter will NOT hold more than
one (1) tank.
5. Open RED return valve for the tank being filtered.
6. Turn the pump ON and use the Cleaning Brush, Crumb Scoop
and Cleaning Rod as needed to remove the debris from the fry
tank. Turn the pump OFF when the fry tank is clean.
7. Close the GREEN drain valve and RED Return valve.
