Operation
Controls and Indicators
The FKF and FKF-H have a power switch to turn the pump motor on or off. It also contains a pump motor
reset switch. If the motor overheats while filtering, it will automatically shut off. To reactivate the pump
motor, wait 15 minutes to allow the motor to cool then press the switch. The FKF-H also has a heater
mounted on the pump that melts residual solid shortening within the pump. This heater has a power
switch used to turn it on or off.
BLF/FKM Filtering Procedure
Always wear appropriate personal protection equipment during the filtering
process to guard against possible injury from hot oil.
1. Set the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch on the fryer to OFF.
2. Turn the thermostat to the off position and remove the fryer basket.
3. Make certain that the FKF filter unit filter pad is clean and not torn.
4. Position the FKF filter unit under the main drain valve and make sure it’s filter screen is in
place.
5. If solid shortening has been used and needs to be melted in the pump, follow the instructions
below, otherwise skip to the next step:
a. Plug the pump heater power cord into the BLF/FKM receptacle.
b. Turn the pump heater power switch on.
c. Position the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to FILTER. The heater will begin to melt the
shortening in the pump.

Filter Pad Replacement
The filter pad must be replaced daily. If the shortening has a milky color when it is pumped into the pot,
the filter pad should be replaced immediately.
If the filter pad is not properly closed, breading crumbs will get through the pad
opening and clog the pump. Ensure that the filter pad is properly closed upon
replacement.
1. Place the filter screen inside the filter pad.
2. Fold the end of the pad and seal with the bag clip.
