CHAPTER 4: FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS

Drawings and photos used in this manual are intended to illustrate

operational, cleaning and technical procedures and may not conform to on-

site management operational procedures.

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 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
