2. GENERAL:
a. The Flatbottom 24G (CE)/H250 Fryer System is equipped with the Super Cascade Filter
Model 99.
b. For consistent product quality, convenience and long-term savings, use a high-quality liquid
frying compound.
c. The frying compound should be filtered at least daily or even more frequently if cooking is
heavy. This ensures the longest life possible for the frying compound, gives better taste to
the food being prepared, and minimizes flavors being transferred from batch to batch.
d. If using solid shortening, always make sure the return lines are clear before turning off the
filter motor and hang any flexible lines up to drain. Solid shortening will solidify as it cools
and clog the lines.
3. FILTER PREPARATION:
a. Assemble tools to be used for filtering. These are supplied with the filter starter kit:
1. L-shaped Teflon Brush - used to clean the frypot while filtering.
2. Clean-Out Rod - long rod used if needed to dislodge heavy debris in the drain tube.
3. Filter Powder, Frymaster Part No. 803-0002.
4. Filter Paper, Frymaster Part No. 803-0170 (100 sheets) or 803-0173 (25 sheets).
Note: Use only genuine Frymaster filter paper and filter powder for best results. Use of
other filter powder may clog filter paper causing longer refill times and could cause
premature motor failure.
b. The following tools are not required, but are recommended to make the filtering task easier.
1. Measuring Cup - used to measure filter powder.
2. Stainless Steel Crumb Scoop - for scraping debris from the filter paper.
c. Always wear oil-resistant, insulated gloves and/or protective gear when working with hot
oil.
d. Put on protective gear.
e. Pull the filter pan out from the Flatbottom 24G fryer/ filter cabinet. Remove cover.
CAUTION
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made
aware of the inherent dangers of operating a hot oil filter system, particularly
aspects of oil filtration, draining, and cleaning of the filter.

f. Unlatch and remove the hold down ring.
Remove and discard old filter paper sheet from
the filter pan.
g. Clean out the filter pan.
h. Place one sheet of filter paper in the bottom of
the filter pan. Reinstall and latch the hold down
ring into position.
i. Sprinkle 8 ounces (1 cup)/ 227 grams evenly
over the paper. Return cover to the filter pan.
j. Return filter pan to fryer cabinet, making sure
the two drain pipe extensions are directly over openings in filter pan cover.
k. Ensure the oil pickup tube fits snugly in the
filter pan connector.
4. FILTER OPERATIONS:
a. Flatbottom 24G:
1. Stir the oil in the frypot with the L-shaped teflon brush.
2. Open the flatbottom frypot drain valve by turning the large red drain handle from the 9:00
o'clock position to the 6:00 o'clock position.
3. Continue stirring the oil in the frypot with the L-shaped teflon brush as the oil drains into the
filter pan. Brush down the vessel sides to remove debris. Use the clean-out rod to clear the
drain if necessary.
Oil Pickup Tube
CAUTION
Filter one frypot at a time. The filter
pan is designed to safely hold the oil
from one fryer only.

4. Open the oil return valve by turning the smaller red handle located under the control panel of
the fryer. Move the handle left to right to open the oil return line. This will activate the filter
pump also.
5. If the circuit breaker kicks out, this often means that there is an obstruction in the oil return
lines.
Note:The filter circuit is protected by a 5-amp circuit breaker located under the control
panel of the filter cabinet. If the circuit breaker trips, the filter pump will stop,
manually reset breaker, and continue.
6. Polishing: If desired, the oil can be polished. Leave the fryer drain valve open for
approximately 5 minutes and allow the oil to circulate from the frypot into the filter and
return to the frypot several times before closing the drain valve. The circulating oil will be
cleansed repeatedly and polished by the micro filtering powder. Polishing extends oil life and
improves cooking flavor.
7. Close the fryer drain valve. To close the flatbottom frypot drain valve, turn the large red
drain handle from the 6:00 o'clock position to the 9:00 o'clock position. The frypot will
begin to fill up with filtered oil.
Note:After filtering it may be necessary to discard filter paper before filtering another fryer.
Replace filter paper when it becomes dark or scuffed in appearance or if refill time
becomes extended.
8. Allow the filter to pump bubbles into the fryer for
approximately 10-15 seconds to ensure the
evacuation of all oil from the filter pan and the oil
return lines.
9. Turn the filter off by turning the oil return handle
from right to left. This closes the oil return line to
the filtered frypot and shuts down the filter pump
motor.

b. H250 Fryers:
1. Turn the lower red drain valve handle from left to right to open the drain valve. The photo
below shows the drain valve in the open position.
2. Stir the oil in the frypot with the L-shaped
teflon brush as the oil drains into the filter
pan. Brush down the vessel sides to remove
debris. Use the clean-out rod to clear the drain
if necessary.
3. Open the oil return valve by turning the
smaller red handles located under the frypot.
The oil return handle is located above the
drain valve handle. Push this handle away
from you to open the oil return line. This will
activate the filter pump also.
4. If the circuit breaker kicks out, this often means
that there is an obstruction in the oil return lines.
Note:The filter circuit is protected by a 5-amp circuit breaker located under the control
panel of the filter cabinet. If the circuit breaker trips, the filter pump will stop,
manually reset breaker and continue.
5. Polishing: If desired, the oil can be polished. Leave the fryer drain valve open for
approximately 5 minutes and allow the oil to circulate from the frypot into the filter and
return to the frypot several times before closing the drain valve. The circulating oil will be
cleansed repeatedly and polished by the micro filtering powder. Polishing extends oil life and
improves cooking flavor.
6. Close the fryer drain valve. Turn the lower red drain valve handle from right to left to close
the drain valve. The frypot will begin to fill up with filtered oil.
Note:After filtering it may be necessary to discard filter paper before filtering another fryer.
Replace filter paper when it becomes dark or scuffed in appearance or if refill times
become extended.
7. Allow the filter to pump bubbles into the fryer for
approximately 10-15 seconds to ensure the
evacuation of all oil from the filter pan and the oil
return lines.
8. Turn the filter off by pulling the oil return handle
towards you to close the oil return line. This shuts
down the filter pump motor also.
