The following procedures apply to all fryers equipped with SUFF/UFF filter systems. Filter system design depends on the frying system configuration (single or multi-batteried systems- see photos below). Typical Under Fryer Filter (UFF) installed in a multi-batteried frying system. WARNING operational procedures.
SUFF/UFF FILTRATION SYSTEMS CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3.2 Filter Preparation On initial installation and before each use, clean the filter: a. remove all loose parts from the filter, wash the filter pan and all accessories in hot, soapy water, and dry thoroughly.

SUFF/UFF FILTRATION SYSTEMS CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION AND OPERATION Previous Production Previous production filter units differed slightly from current production units. There were two types of hold-down rings: the latchless or weighted hold-down ring (similar to current production) and the latching hold-down ring. 1.

SUFF/UFF FILTRATION SYSTEMS CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3.2.1 Filter Unit Identification (cont.) SUFF/UFF systems incorporating a filter-leaf assembly use a fine mesh screen to filter impurities and debris from the oil. The oil is pumped through the screen and then returned to the frypot. The advantages of the filter-leaf include unlimited re-use and the elimination of paper cost.
SUFF/UFF FILTRATION SYSTEMS CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3.2.2 Assembling the Filter Assembling Filter Units with Latchless Hold-down Rings 1. Place the support grid in the bottom of filter pan. 2. Put one filter paper sheet on top of the support grid.
Page 15
Sprinkle the proper amount of filter powder evenly over the paper. Crumb screen properly placed. Fully assembled pan with proper placement of lid over slip fitting (slip-fitting orientation may vary according to fryer system).
Page 16
SUFF/UFF FILTRATION SYSTEMS CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3.2.2 Assembling the Filter (cont.) Assembling Filter Units with Latching Hold-down Rings 1. Place the filter screen in the pan. Ensure it is properly seated in the bottom recess. 2. Place one sheet of filter paper over the filter screen.

SUFF/UFF FILTRATION SYSTEMS CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3.2.2 Assembling the Filter (cont.) 4. Latch the hold-down ring to lock the filter paper in place. Simultaneously lock both clamps in place by pressing down and in on each clamp (see photo at right). 5.
Page 18
Ensure the front cover is correctly positioned over the slip fitting (if applicable). Slip fitting orientation may vary according to fryer system. Assembling Filter Units with the Filter-Leaf 1. Remove the filter pan lid. 2. Place the filter-leaf assembly in the bottom of the filter pan.
Page 19
SUFF/UFF FILTRATION SYSTEMS CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3.2.2 Assembling the Filter (cont.) 3. Apply the proper amount of filter powder to the filter-leaf, using the manufacturer’s recommended amount. 4. Place the crumb tray in pan after filter powder application. 5.
SUFF/UFF FILTRATION SYSTEMS CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3.2.3 Installing the Filter 1. Slide the filter inside the fryer cabinet. For latchless latching equipped filters, ensure the male-female slip- fitting coupling is fully engaged. Ensure the filter pan opening is directly under the center dump tube (current) or angled drain tubes (previous) to avoid splashing hot oil.
3.3.2 Filtering Tools Assemble tools to be used for filtering. These are supplied with the filter starter kit included with the fryer/filter system: • Frypot/Filter Brush - used to clean frypot and filter pan sides and bottom, heating elements, and to dislodge sediment during filtration or oil change.
NEVER operate the filter unit unless cooking oil is at operating temperature (~350°F/ ~177°C). 1. Ensure the filter pan assembly is prepared as described in Section 3.2.1, Assembling the Filter, and turn fryer off. 2. Remove fry baskets from frypot and skim any large debris from the oil.

SUFF/UFF FILTRATION SYSTEMS CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3.4.1 Pan Preparation and Operation (cont.) 4. After ensuring the filter pan is correctly positioned under the drain tubes, move the red handle into the open position to drain the frypot into the filter pan. Drain ONLY one frypot at a time.
8. After the filter cycle is complete, close the drain valve (push the red handle into the closed position until it stops) and allow the fryer to refill (see Step 4 above for additional reference). Clean all sediment and suspended particles from the burner tubes and frypot as the oil begins to circulate.

11. Replace the frypot grid, using care not to splash hot oil. Turn the fryer on. Allow the oil to bubble for 10-15 seconds to ensure evacuation of all oil in the return lines.
Page 26
Do not bang fry baskets or other utensils on the fryer’s joiner strip. The strip is present to seal the joint between the fry vessels. Banging fry baskets on the strip to dislodge shortening will distort the strip, adversely affecting its fit.
1. Ensure the oil is at operating temperature (~350°F/~177°C). Turn the fryer off and open the fryer drain valve. Allow the oil to drain into the filter pan. 2. When all the oil has drained from the frypot, connect the hose/wand assembly to the disconnect valve in the fryer cabinet.
Page 28
SUFF/UFF FILTRATION SYSTEMS CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3.4.3 Hose and Wand Operation (cont.) 4. If the quick-disconnect is under positive pressure (no ON/OFF valve), the oil will start to flow immediately into the frypot. If the flush valve is operated with a blue handle, pull the handle out to start oil flowing.
Page 29
Filtration is complete. Filter another frypot or return the fryer to operation. Bubbling oil indicates air flowing through the oil return lines. Do this for 10-15 seconds to ensure evacuation of oil from the return lines.
SUFF/UFF FILTRATION SYSTEMS CHAPTER 4: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE 4.1 General Cleaning operations fall into three general categories: • Wiping unit clean after each filter session; • Cleaning filter or filter-leaf assembly, changing filter paper (systems without filter- leaf), and preparing the unit for the next day’s business. •...

At each scheduled boil-out, disassemble the filter-leaf as described and place in the frypot filled with boil-out solution (where applicable). Installation and Operation manual included with the fryer. After boil out is complete, place the filter-leaf in a vinegar solution (1 pint vinegar to 1/2 gallon water) to neutralize boil-out residue.
CHAPTER 4: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE 4.3 Daily (Close of Business) At the close of a working day, oil in all fryers should be filtered. When the last fryer is finished, follow these steps: 1. Ensure the flexible hose and pump lines are clear by running the filter pump for an additional 10–15 seconds after air bubbles start coming from the oil return line.
Pumping is erratic. Oil not being returned to frypot. After filtering, fryer does not operate properly. Return valve not fully opened. Tripped circuit breaker or thermal overload switch. Incorrect or no line voltage. Failed return microswitch. Allow motor to cool for at least 45 minutes and then press thermal overload switch on motor.
