Responsibility for its safe delivery was assumed by
the carrier at the time of shipment. Claims for loss or
damage to the contents should, therefore, be made
upon the carrier, as follows:
CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE
Concealed loss or damage means loss or damage
which does not become apparent until the mer-
chandise has been unpacked. The contents may be
damaged in transit due to rough handling even though
the carton may not show external damage. When the
damage is discovered upon unpacking, make a writ-
ten request for inspection by the carrier’s agent within
fifteen days of the delivery date. Then file a claim with
the carrier since such damage is the carrier’s respon-
sibility. By following these instructions carefully, we
guarantee our full support of your claims to protect
you against loss from concealed damage.
VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE
Any external evidence of loss or damage must be
noted on the freight bill or express receipt, and
signed by the carrier’s agent. Failure to adequately de-
scribe such external evidence of loss or damage may
result in the carrier refusing to honor a damage claim.
The form required to file such a claim will be supplied
by the carrier.

PREPARING THE PORTABLE FILTER
1. Remove screen from over tubes/element with
tongs or a Drain Clean Out Rod (See Figure 1-1).
SCREEN OVER TUBES/ELEMENTS WILL BE
VERY HOT AND SHOULD BE MOVED TO A SAFE
PLACE.
2. Heat fryers to 325°F. Stir oil thoroughly until all
water is removed and shut fryer off (including pilot
light) before filtering (Figure 1-2).
NOTE: Water settles in the cooler oil in the Cold
Zone. If the water is not removed, the filter paper
absorbs the water preventing the oil from passing
through it.
3. Use the spoon and stir oil thoroughly until bubbling
stops, resulting in removal of all water (Figure 1-2).
OIL IS HOT. USE CARE WHEN FILTERING.
4. Place in clean filter tub (See Figure 1-3):
1st: Filter Screen
2nd: Filter Paper (new sheet for each fryer)
3rd: Hold down ring
4th: Secure hold down ring at each corner with
"T" rod handles
5th: Acidox filter powder (new powder for
each fryer)
6th: Strainer basket
NOTE: Hold down ring makes a gasket-like seal on
filter paper. Filter paper must be placed edge to edge
from front to back, overlapping on sides. Filter Paper
must be smooth and flat under hold down ring to get
a proper seal. Lock the two tension arms into place
by pushing down and rotating 90°.
NOTE: One package of Acidox is needed for every 40
lbs. of oil.
5. Completely shut off fryer (main and pilot on gas
models or main electrical power on electric models)
before proceeding with filtration.
FILTRATION
1. Oil being filtered is hot. Use proper protective at-
tire and caution to prevent injury.
2. Plug filter into a suitable electrical power source.
3. Open fryer cabinet door and position portable filter
vessel under fryer drain valve. Slowly open drain valve
to avoid splashing and permit oil in fryer vessel to
drain into filter vessel (Figure 2-1).

PORTABLE FILTER
4. Direct end of filter wand into fryer vessel and then
place filter MELT/OFF/FILTER toggle switch to FILTER
position. If oil does not flow through wand and into
fryer vessel, position toggle switch to MELT position for
ten minutes to melt any oil in filter lines/hoses. Then
place toggle switch to FILTER position.
5. For a period not to exceed twenty minutes, direct
wand to flush all crumbs and other residue out of fryer
vessel and from splashdeck into filter vessel (Figure
2-2). Operating the motor-pump for more than twenty
minutes may overheat the motor, tripping the motor
internal overload switch. If this occurs, it will be neces-
sary to permit the motor to cool down for five to ten
minutes and then press the reset switch at the rear of
the motor. The reset switch is accessible through the
button plug opening at the right side of the filter.
6. Repeat this procedure as necessary until fryer
vessel is completely flushed out. Partially close drain
valve to permit fryer vessel to fill above tubes/ele-
ments permitting swirling action to rinse down fryer
vessel.
7. Close fryer drain valve (See Figure 2-3).
8. Clean fryer vessel with non-abrasive scrub pad &
Keating Klenzer.
9. Fill fryer with filtered oil by turning on pump and
directing end of wand into vessel (See Figure 2-4).
NOTE: Filters with two-way pump - do NOT place wand
in cold zone of fryer pot as it may pick up crumbs &
other debris and excessively clog filter paper.
10. Operate pump for approximately thirty seconds
after filter vessel is empty to clear any residual oil
from the filter's lines/hoses. This will prevent blockage
resulting from solidified oil during subsequent filtering
operations.
CLEAN-UP
FILTER UNIT AND PIPES WILL REMAIN HOT FOL-
LOWING FILTRATION. ALLOW THE UNIT TO COOL
DOWN BEFORE CLEAN-UP. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE OPERATOR.
1. Turn MELT/OFF/FILTER toggle switch to "OFF" posi-
tion and disconnect from electrical source.
2. Remove strainer basket and hold down ring for
cleaning.
3. Remove and discard filter paper and any residue.
4. Clean filter tub thoroughly.
5. Coat inside of pump with oil if water has been run-
ning through it.
6. Place hose so that remaining oil will drain out.
7. Move filter to storage and close fryer cabinet door.
Start up fryer in accordance with technical manual
provided with fryer.
MELT SOLID SHORTENING
1. Clean filter tub and remove all accessories.
2. Place a cube of shortening in filter tub.
3. Turn fat melter on. (50 lbs. takes 1 hr. to melt)
4. Once shortening is melted fill fryer with oil by turn-
ing on pump and directing end of wand into vessel
(See Figure 2-4).
DO NOT ALLOW SHORTENING TO SOLIDIFY IN
FILTER AS IT WILL ALSO SOLIDIFY IN PIPES.

DO NOT TURN ON FAT METER WITHOUT
SHORTENING IN TUB.
DO NOT USE TO TRANSPORT HOT OIL. FILTER
HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO FILTER OIL INDOORS
ONLY.
FILTER FAILURE
If filter will not pump, solidified shortening may have
plugged pipes. Turn on fat melter for 20 minutes. This
will heat filter tub and pipes to free system of solidi-
fied shortening. Reset motor before attempting filtering
(reset button is located on rear of pump motor.)
WARRANTY REPAIRS
Keating’s 1 year parts & labor warranty begins with the
date of installation.
In the event that your filter, under warranty, needs
repairs other than routine cleaning, you are requested
to contact KEATING OF CHICAGO, INC. (1-800-KEATING)
before calling a local service company.

SERVICE DIAGNOSIS
The following diagnosis is only to be used as a guide to qualified service personnel. Keating recommends that
you use a qualified & licensed service company. (Equipment still under warranty requires it.)
NOTE: To correctly and quickly diagnose the system, the chart below should be followed in sequential order.
TROUBLE SHOOTING CHART
PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Motor runs but will not pump oil a. Solidified shortening may have plugged
pipes.
b. Tub not set up properly.
a. Turn on fat melter for 20 minutes.
This will heat filter tub and pipes to
free system of solidified shortening.
Reset motor before attempting filtering
(reset button is located on rear of
pump motor).
b. Place components in tub per the
following:
1. Filter screen on the very bottom.
2. Filter paper over filter screen (Lie it
flat on the bottom, creasing the
sides).
3. Hold down ring (ensure paper is not
folded, lock hold down ring into
place ensuring a tight seal).
4. Sprinkle Acidox powder evenly over
filter paper (1 bag per 40 lbs. of oil).
5. Strainer basket for large debris.
Motor does not operate a. Not plugged in.
b. Motor has overheated.
c. Motor pump is clogged.
a. Plug filter into a 120 or 220 Vac
electrical power source. Turn ON/OFF
switch to ‘ON’.
b. Allow motor to cool for approximately
10 minutes. Press the motor overload
reset button and try again.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventative maintenance should be performed during
& after each use of the filter. Following preventative
maintenance procedures will help to keep your filter
working efficiently. Proper care & servicing will lead to
years of quality performance.
Familiarize yourself with the proper filtering
procedure prior to attempting to filter:
1. To remove water, stir oil until bubbling stops; water
will clog filter paper pores.
2. Use only one sheet of filter paper properly sealed
under hold down ring.
3. Do NOT turn on fat melt without oil in filter tub.
4. Use a drain clean out rod if partial or full blockage
in fryer drain is suspected.
5. If filter was used for fryer boil out, run oil through
filter to lubricate motor/pump.
6. Clean filter and all components after each use. Do
not permit oil to remain in filter drawer; it will clog the
pump.
7. Verify all lights and controls operate.
8. Adhere to operating instructions in sequence given
for proper filtration.
9. Prepare filter for next use by using new filter paper
and Acidox Powder for each fryer.
