OCF30 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. Preparing the Built-In Filtration System for Use The FootPrint Pro filtration system allows the oil in one frypot to be safely and efficiently filtered while the other frypots in a battery remain in operation.

(For safe, convenient draining and disposal of used oil, Frymaster recommends the use of the Frymaster Shortening Disposal Unit (SDU) for JIB systems. The SDU is available through your local distributor.) NOTE: If using an SDU built before January 2004 the filter pan cover must be removed to allow the unit to be positioned beneath the drain.
