1. Fill the frypot with oil to the bottom OIL
LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot.
This will allow for oil expansion as heat is
applied. Do not fill cold oil any higher than the
bottom line; overflow may occur as heat
expands the oil.
2. Ensure that the power cord(s) is/are plugged
into the appropriate receptacle(s). Verify that
the face of the plug is flush with the outlet
plate, with no portion of the prongs visible.
3. Ensure that the power is switched on. Some
models are equipped with a master switch
located behind the fryer door cabinet on the
front panel of the component box, next to the
fuse.
4. Ensure that the computer/controller is switched
ON. See controller quick reference.
5. Ensure that the oil level is at the top OIL
LEVEL line when the oil is at its cooking
temperature. It may be necessary to add oil or
shortening to bring the level up to the proper
mark, after it has reached cooking temperature.
Filter Preparation
1. Pull the filter pan out from the cabinet and
remove the crumb tray, hold-down ring, filter
paper and filter screen. Clean all components
with a solution of detergent and hot water then
dry thoroughly.
2. Inspect the filter pan connection fitting to
ensure that both O-rings are in good condition.
3. Place the metal filter screen in the center of the
bottom of the pan. Lay a sheet of filter paper on
top of the screen, overlapping on all sides. If
using a filter pad, ensure the rough side of the
pad is up and lay the pad over the screen,
making sure that the pad is in between the
embossed ridges of the filter pan.
4. Position the hold-down ring over the filter
paper and lower the ring into the pan, allowing
the paper to rest on the sides of the filter pan.
Add the manufacturer’s recommended measure
of filter powder.
Filtering
1. Make sure the oil is at operating temperature.
2. Turn the fryer power OFF. Drain the frypot
into the filter pan by rotating the drain valves
90º. If necessary, use the Fryer's Friend clean-
out rod to clear the drain from inside the frypot.
3. Using the optional wand -When all the oil has
drained from the frypot, connect the hose/wand
assembly to the quick-disconnect on the front
bottom of the fryer cabinet. Ensure the hose is
properly connected before proceeding.
4. Using the optional wand - Place the wand into
the open frypot and activate the filter with the
wand/disposal switch (rocker switch) on the
front of the cabinet.
DO NOT PROCEED UNLESS THE WAND
IS INSIDE THE FRYPOT. Hot oil can
immediately flow from the wand when it is
attached, causing burns if the wand is not in
the frypot.
5. Using the optional wand - The oil will start to
flow immediately into the frypot. Keep the
wand inside the frypot at all times while the
filter pump is activated.
6. Using the optional wand - Rinse debris from
the frypot into the filter pan with the wand.
When cleanup is complete, close the drain
valve (red handle) and press the wand/disposal
switch to OFF. Allow hose/wand to drain into
the filter pan.
7. Using the optional wand - Disconnect the
hose/wand from the fryer.
8. After the oil has drained from the frypot, turn
the filter handle to the ON position to start the
pump and begin the filtering process. There
may be a slight delay before the pump activates.
9. The filter pump draws the oil through the
filter medium and through the frypot. Allow
the oil to circulate for five minutes.
10. Close the drain valve and allow the fryer to
refill. Let the filter pump run 10 to 15
seconds after the oil begins to bubble. Turn
the filter off.
Using the Optional Drain Flush
1. Follow steps 1-7 in above section to drain
vessel.
2. Push all red handles to the left, closing all
drain valves.
3. Rotate the blue handle to the right. Oil will
flow from the drain pan to the far end of the
drain manifold and back into the filter pan.
4. Allow oil to flow until a heavy stream of oil
returns to filter pan.
5. Rotate the blue handle to the OFF position,
stopping the filter pump.
6. Re-open the drain valve by pushing the red
handle.
7. Return to STEP 8 in above section.
Shut Down
1. Turn the fryer off.
2. Filter the cooking oil and clean the fryers.
3. Place the frypot covers on the frypots.
