5.04 Filtering Used Cooking Oil - continued
During the next steps cooking oil is drained from the vat, exposing the heating elements.
Even though safety interlocks are in place, failure to place the Selector (Cook) Switch in the
[OFF] position before draining could result in fire. ALWAYS CONFIRM THAT THE SELECTOR SWITCH IS IN THE
[OFF] POSITION BEFORE DRAINING THE COOK VAT.
Never disconnect and attempt to remove the Filter Pan from unit while it contains HOT
cooking oil.

NOTE:
If the oil does not readily drain, use the provided Kettle Drain Brush to
break up crumbs or residue that might be blocking the vat drain. Be
careful not to puncture the filter media in Pan, doing so could allow
debris to pass through and clog, or damage, the filter pump
8. Set the Oil Return Valve handle

into the Filter Pan, set the Selector
Switch to the [PUMP] position.

through the filter media in the Pan
and return to the fry vat. Leave the Drain Valve open
to allow oil to continually circulate through the system
for about 5 minutes. During this time, use the
provided heat-resistant Pot Brush and L-Bend Brush to
dislodge cooking residue and crumbs from vat sides
and heating elements, allowing it to be flushed into the
Filter Pan.
11. After about 5 minutes, return Drain Valve Handle to
the [CLOSE] position and allow the vat to refill. When the pump discharge
