Filtering & Polishing Shortening; Filtering Shortening - ULTRAFRYER Systems PAR-3-14HE CE Operating Instructions Manual

A. FILTERING SHORTENING
1. Turn the ON / OFF SWITCH on the fryer to OFF, turn the MANUAL GAS VALVE OFF, and ensure the filter tub is
properly docked beneath the drain valve.
NOTE: Pull on the filter tub Handle to ASSURE the male docking plug is SEATED in the female bulkhead socket.
2.Place the amount of FILTER AGENT into the fryer vat as prescribed in the cleaning manual provided by your chemical
supplier; thoroughly stir the filter agent into the shortening using a skimmer; then skim the shortening to remove any float-
ing crumbs.
CAUTION: PRIOR TO PROCEEDING TO THE NEXT STEP, PUT ON SAFETY GOGGLES, NEOPRENE
INSULATED GLOVES AND AN APRON.
3. Carefully attach the drain valve handle to the drain valve; then open the drain valve by turning the DRAIN VALVE HAN-
DLE slightly downward. When the bottom of the filter tub is covered with about two (2) inches of shortening, completely
OPEN the drain valve, and while shortening is draining, scrape all sides of the vat to remove encrusted material using the
scraper.
4. When all shortening has drained into the filter tub, use the DRAIN ROD to stand the wire rack on one side of the vat.
5. Use the drain rod to pull the sediment on the bottom of the vat towards the valve opening, then use the rod to push sedi-
ment through the valve opening.
Vat Shortening Return
Lever (shown closed)
CAUTION: DO NOT ACTIVATE (TURN) THE VAT SHORTENING RETURN LEVER AND TOPSIDE
SHORTENING LEVER AT THE SAME TIME! TO DO SO WILL REDUCE SHORTENING FLOW.
6. If there is NO sediment or debris visible on the heat exchanger or bottom of the vat, CLOSE the drain valve; then turn the
LEFT HAND Vat Shortening Return Lever 1⁄4 turn counter clock wise to automatically return shortening in the filter tub
through the SWEEP NOZZLE in the bottom of the vat. When all shortening has been returned to the vat, turn the LEFT
HAND Vat Shortening Return Lever 1⁄4 turn clockwise to stop the flow of shortening.
7. If there is considerable sediment and debris on the bottom of the vat, FLUSH this sediment from vat using the Wash Down
Hose as follows:
a. Leave the drain valve in the OPEN position, CAREFULLY connect the Wash Down Hose Male In-Line Plug to the
TOPSIDE FEMALE SOCKET; then place the Wash Down Hose nozzle into vat and hold it firmly against an inner wall
so it will not recoil upward when the pump comes on.
b. Turn the RIGHT HAND Topside Shortening Return Lever 1⁄4 turn counter clock wise and hold the hose nozzle at 45˚
angle from the bottom of the vat causing sediment and debris to bounce off the rear wall and flow towards the drain
valve.
c. Use the "L" shaped brush to push the sediment through the drain valve to keep the drain clear. Hose off the heat ex-
changer and vat walls until all sediment and debris has been flushed through the drain into the filter tub.
