CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2.1 General
The PF95LP Low Profile portable oil filters may be used with a variety of Frymaster fryers, as well
as other manufacturers’ equipment.
Oil or shortening is drained from the fryer into the filter pan, then pumped back into the frypot by
means of the oil-return hose and nozzle-screen assembly after filtering.
Oil or shortening is filtered through replaceable filter paper. Filter powder, which enhances the
filtering process, is sprinkled over the paper prior to filtering.

2.1 General (cont.)
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 the aspects of
oil filtration, and draining/cleaning procedures.
An ON/OFF switch activates/deactivates the
filter pump, and a 7-amp (120V), or 5-amp
(230V) circuit breaker switches the power OFF if
an overload occurs. An internal backup thermal-
overload switch on the pump-motor provides
additional protection.
NOTE:If the circuit breaker is triggered,
depress the reset button to activate the
circuit after the failure has been
detected and repaired.
2.2 Rating Plate
Information on the rating plate includes model and serial numbers, as well as electrical requirements.
Have the rating plate information handy when communicating with the factory about a unit or
requesting special parts or information. Without this information, proper identification of the unit
cannot be confirmed.
2.3 Pre-Installation
NOTE: Failure to use qualified service personnel will void the Frymaster warranty.
A. Standards: Usage of this filter unit must be in accordance with all applicable state and local
codes.
B. Electrical Connections: PF95LP units require connection to a 120V, 60-cycle, 15-amp
power supply, or a 220V, 50-cycle, 7-amp power supply. Units are equipped with a
grounded male receptacle for use with a 3-wire, 16 AWG power-cord set. If an
extension cord is required, it must be a three-conductor, grounded power cord of at least 16
gauge.

2.4 Unpacking the Filter System
Ensure the container is upright. Unpack the filter carefully and remove all accessories (if
included) from the carton. Do not discard or misplace parts and/or accessories; they will be
needed. Any accessories or starter kits included with the unit will be packaged inside the filter
tank strapped to the shipping frame.
After unpacking, immediately check the equipment for visible signs of shipping damage. If
such damage has occurred, contact the carrier and file the appropriate freight claims. Do not
contact the factory, as the responsibility of shipping damage is between the carrier and dealer
or end user.
If your equipment arrives damaged:
a. File claim for damages immediately – Regardless of extent of damage.
b. Visible loss or damage – Be sure this is noted on the freight bill or express receipt and is
signed by the person making the delivery.
c. Concealed loss or damage – If damage is unnoticed until equipment is unpacked, notify
freight company or carrier immediately, and file a concealed damage claim. This should be
done within 15 days of date of delivery. Retain the shipping container for inspection.
NOTE: Frymaster does not assume responsibility for damage or loss incurred in transit.

CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 Assembling The Filter System
On initial installation and before each use, remove all loose parts from the filter (if present),
wash the filter pan and all accessories in hot, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
WARNING!
Water or boil-out solution MUST not be allowed to drain into the filter pan or
filter system. Irreversible damage will result if water is allowed into the
system, and the warranty will be voided.
The PF95LP filtration system utilizes a filter-support grid, filter paper and a hold-down ring
to secure the filter paper in place.
3.1.1 Filter Paper Configuration
