CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2-2
2.1 General (cont.)
Oil or shortening is gravity-drained from the fryer into the filter, and then filtered through filter
paper. Filter powder, which enhances the filtering process, is distributed over the paper prior to
filtering.
All units are shipped completely assembled with accessories packed inside the filter pan. All units
are adjusted, tested and inspected at the factory before shipment.
WARNING
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.
The rating plate is located on the back housing, near the electrical receptacle. Have the rating plate
information handy when communicating with the factory about a unit or requesting special parts or
information. Without rating plate information, proper identification of the unit cannot be confirmed.

NOTE: Failure to use qualified service personnel will void the Frymaster/Dean warranty.
A. Standards: Use of this filter unit must be in accordance with all applicable state and local
codes.
B. Electrical Connections: Domestic PF95 filter units require a 115V 60 Hz., 15 amp electrical
supply. International/CE units require 230V 50 Hz., 7 amp electrical supply. Units are
equipped with a grounded male receptacle for use with a 16-3 SJT 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 from the
carton. Do not discard or misplace parts and/or accessories; they will be needed for filter setup
and operation. Any accessories or starter kits included with the unit will be packaged inside
the filter tank.
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.

3.1 Assembling The Filter System
On initial installation and before each use, remove all loose parts from the filter, 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.
PF95LP Series portable filtration systems use a filter support grid, one sheet of filter paper and a
hold-down ring to secure the filter paper in place.
3.1.1 Filter Paper Configuration
See illustration for proper assembly.
1. Filter Pan Cover
2. Hold-Down Ring
3. Filter Paper (one sheet)
4. Screen/Support Grid
5. Filter Pan Assembly
A. First, place the support grid in the bottom of filter pan.
B. Place one sheet of filter paper on top of the support grid. Ensure the paper evenly covers the
filter pan bottom.
C. Position the hold-down ring on top of the filter paper and latch the hold-down ring and filter
paper securely against the filter pan bottom, forming a tight seal.
D. Sprinkle 8 ounces of filter powder over the filter paper, distributing the powder as evenly as
possible. If filtering a second frypot immediately after the first, add only 4 ounces of filter
powder for the second filtering.
E. Place the crumb catcher screen (if applicable) in the filter pan. Allow the crumb catcher screen
to rest on the top edges of the hold-down ring.

CHAPTER 4: FILTER OPERATION
4-1
4.1 General
PF95LP Series portable filters are designed to operate primarily as an independent filter unit.
Operations always start by ensuring the unit is properly plugged in, then rolling the filter to the fryer
to be filtered. The filter works directly under the fryers’ drain valves. The general layout of a
PF95LP Series portable filter with major components identified is illustrated below.

4.2 Filtering Tools
These tools are not required, but are recommended to make the filtering task easier.
A. Measuring Cup: Used to measure eight ounces by volume of filter powder.
B. Scrub Brush: To clean sediment and residue from the filter pan and frypot.
C. Appropriate Clothing.
4.3 Filter Preparation
1. Position the PF95LP portable filter next to the fryer. Remove filter pan lid and position
filter unit under frypot drain-valve extension.
2. Ensure the filter power switch is in "OFF" position prior to connecting to power supply.
3. Plug power cord into electrical outlet. The filter unit is ready for filtering. After filtering,
follow instructions in Section 4.4, Changing Filter Paper.
DANGER
The crumb tray (if equipped) in portable filter systems must be emptied into a
fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles
can spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.
4.4 Changing Filter Paper
Filter paper should be replaced after each filter
session, and most certainly at the beginning of
each workday. If filter paper is replaced once
per day, excess sediment should be scraped from
the filter paper after each frypot is filtered (see
photo). Use care not to tear the paper when
scraping off sediment. Filter at closing if
possible. This ensures the oil is at proper
filtering temperature.
Note: If filtering at closing, remove and discard
the used filter paper in a fireproof container
when filter operations are complete. Wash all
components in soapy water and dry completely.
If filtering more than one frypot with the same
filter paper, scrape excess sediment from the
filter paper after each filtering.

4.5 Unit Operation
1. When filtering, follow these steps:
2. Follow the appropriate instructions in Sections 4.3 and 4.4 to prepare the filter unit for operation.
3. Position the filter unit under the fryer drain valve extension prior to draining fryer.
4. Turn the fryer main power switch to the "OFF" position.
DANGER
Do not leave filter unit unattended during the filtering operation. Pressurized oil
moving through the lines can cause the flexible return hose and wand assembly to
pop loose and spray hot oil.
Avoid spilling hot oil onto floor surfaces. When draining fryer into filter, never
exceed the maximum capacity of the filter pan.
5. Open the fryer door and place the filter in the proper position under the fryer drain valve
extension (see photo below). Lock rear casters to prevent filter movement during the filtering
process.

4.5 Unit Operation (cont.)
DANGER
The oil temperature of the fryer to be filtered should be approximately 350°F (175°C).
Position drain handles properly prior to operating the filter unit. Failure to do this
can result in burn injury to the user.
6. Open the drain-valve and allow the frypot oil
to drain into the filter pan.
7. With the oil return wand in frypot, turn filter
switch "ON" to begin pumping clean oil into
the fryer. Allow the oil to recycle through the
fryer for a few seconds to wash out sediment
on the bottom of the frypot before closing the
drain valve.
Note: The oil return wand can also be
mounted in the wand holster inside the pan,
for extended filtering periods (polishing) prior
to refilling frypot. NEVER LEAVE THE
FILTER SYSTEM UNATTENDED WHILE
FILTERING!
Frypot draining into filter pan. Ensure oil is at
operating temperature before opening drain
valve.
Use the nozzle to rinse sediment and debris
from the frypot during the filtering process ("U"
units only).

CHAPTER 4: FILTER OPERATION
4-8
4.5 Unit Operation (cont.)
8. When filtering is complete, close the drain
valve handle. It takes approximately 5 to 7
minutes for the filter to pump all the oil back
into the fryer.
9. Allow the pump to run for 10-15 seconds
after air starts to flow through the wand,
before shutting off the filter. Clearing
residual shortening or oil from the return
lines reduces the likelihood of clogged lines.
NOTE: After filtering, scrape off debris and sediment accumulated on the filter paper and
discard into a fireproof container.
CAUTION
If using solid shortening, the return hose must be completely drained after filtering,
or the shortening will solidify and plug the hose or oil return lines as it cools.
NOTE: If filtration operations problems are encountered during use, please refer to Chapter 6
in this manual.
