Chapter 4: Filtration Instructions; Draining And Manual Filtering - Frymaster FPRE314 Installation & Operation Manual

CHAPTER 4: FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS

The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of
the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects
of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.
4.1

Draining and Manual Filtering

Draining and filtering of oil must be accomplished with care to avoid the possibility
of a serious burn caused by careless handling. The oil to be filtered is at or near
350°F (177°C). Ensure all hoses are connected properly and drain handles are in
their proper position before operating any switches or valves. Wear all appropriate
safety equipment when draining and filtering oil.
Allow oil to cool to 100°F (38°C) before draining into an appropriate container for
disposal.
Do not drain more than one frypot at a time into the built-in filtration unit to avoid
overflow and spillage of hot oil.
When draining oil into a disposal unit or portable filter unit, do not fill above the
maximum fill line located on the container.
If your fryer is not equipped with a built-in filtration system, the oil must be drained into another
suitable METAL container. (For safe, convenient draining and disposal of used oil or shortening,
Frymaster recommends using the Frymaster Shortening Disposal Unit (SDU). The SDU is available
through your local distributor.)
1. Turn the fryer power switch to the OFF position. Screw the drainpipe (provided with your fryer)
into the drain valve. Make sure the drainpipe is firmly screwed into the drain valve and that the
opening is pointing down.
2. Position a metal container with a sealable cover under the drainpipe. The metal container must
be able to withstand the heat of the oil and hold hot liquids. If you intend to reuse the oil or
shortening, Frymaster recommends that a Frymaster filter cone holder and filter cone be used
when a filter machine is not available. If you are using a Frymaster filter cone holder, be sure
that the cone holder rests securely on the metal container.
