5. FILTER POWDER absorbs acids and other contaminants in the cooking oil, allowing the
cooking oil to be used for a longer period of time before it must be replaced. Carefully and
slowly add the contents of one package of FILTER POWDER to the oil in the FRYPOT.
Sprinkle the FILTER POWDER onto the surface of the cooking oil at the point where it is being
drawn down the drain and into the FILTER RESERVOIR.
6. Using the high temperature brush that was supplied with the fryer, brush down the kettle sides
and bottom to loosen crumbs and flush them from the fryer.
If the crumb build-up in the kettle clogs the kettle drain, unplug the drain by using the WOOD
CLEANOUT DOWEL that was supplied with the fryer. Unplug the drain by pushing the dowel
down through the drain hole in the front center of the kettle.
7. When filtering is complete, rotate the DRAIN VALVE LEVER to the SHUT (horizontal) position.
8. When bubbles begin to appear in the oil being pumped into the frypot, wait approximately
fifteen (15) seconds. Then, press the FILTER PUMP SWITCH to the OFF position.
IMPORTANT: VERIFY THAT ALL OIL HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE KETTLE AT
THE END OF THE FILTERING CYCLE.
9. Press the POWER SWITCH to either:
a. the FRYER position (to resume cooking); or,
b. the OFF position (to service the filter or shut down the fryer)
Service the FILTER and Replace FILTER PAPER after each day' s filtration, or as needed to return
oil promptly to the kettle:
1. Allow the FILTER RESERVOIR to cool. Remove the FILTER RESERVOIR and disassemble.
2. Dispose of used FILTER PAPER as required by local ordinances.
3. Clean the FILTER RESERVOIR, FILTER SCREEN and FILTER PAPER HOLDER using
warm water and mild soap or detergent, or clean in a dishwasher. Reassemble FILTER
RESERVOIR using a clean sheet of FILTER PAPER.
NOTE: Crumbs and other debris in the bottom of the FILTER RESERVOIR will prevent
the FILTER PAPER from sealing properly, resulting in incomplete filtration.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND INSULATED GLOVES MUST BE WORN
WHEN CLEANING THE KETTLE WITH THE HI-TEMP BRUSH AND
WHEN UNCLOGGING THE DRAIN WITH THE WOOD CLEANOUT DOWEL.
The kettle will be hot and hot oil may splatter. Serious injury may result.
