A. PREPARING THE FILTER-DRAWER
CAUTION
WATER IN ANY FORM & HOT OIL DON'T MIX!
NOTE: Operator should be outfitted with proper
protective attire: safety goggles, oil and heat
resistant gloves, apron and footwear
Filter assembly inside of cabinet:
1. Pull the handle marked “Pull to Release Filter”
(top of filter panel).
2. Remove the entire assembly from the cabinet by rolling it
forward.
3. Pull the handle marked “Pull to Release Tub”
(bottom of panel)
4. Slide the tub back, lift up and remove from cart.
5. Ensure all compnents are clean
(NOTE: Filter tub and components are dishwasher safe).
6. Install components into tub as follows:
a. Sump screen
b. Filter paper
c. Hold down ring (Note 1)
d. Acidox (1 package per 40lbs oil) (Note 2)
e. Crumb basket
See Figure 1
NOTE 1: 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.
NOTE 2: One package of Acidox is needed for every 40
pounds of oil.
7. Place entire tub assembly onto the cart (NOTE: Ensure
the lip on the tub goes under the cart frame in the rear).
8. Reconnect the tub to the motor by pulling together the
handles on the front of the tub and the handles on the
side of the motor housing.
See Figure 2
NOTE: Push on the front of the tub to verify connection. If tub
moves, repeat steps 7-8.

9. Sprinkle Keating Acidox Powder evenly over the paper.
10. Replace crumb basket and push drawer fully into cabinet.
Ensure the connection on top of the housing mates with the
connection inside the cabinet.
Pull the front of the filter system lightly to verify proper
connection
NOTE: Cabinet door should be closed during filtration.
NOTE: For best results, new filter paper and Acidox Powder
must be used for each fryer.
B. PREPARING OIL FOR FILTRATION
NOTE: Oil in fryer must be between 250° - 350°F.
1. Turn fryer completely off.
2. Remove screen from over tubes/element with tongs or a
Drain Clean Out Rod. Refer to Figure 3.
CAUTION
Screen over tubes will be very hot and should be moved to
a safe place.
3. Use spoon provided to stir oil. Bubbling will occur until all
water is removed. Failure to do so will clog the filter paper.
Refer to Figure 4.
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.
C. FILTRATION
1. On filter assembly, have handle with the black knob set to
oil to fryer. Refer to Figure 5.
2. Open the drain valve slowly by lifting and then pulling the
drain valve handle and drain fryer (handle with largest black
knob).
NOTE: A Drain Clean Out Rod may be needed to loosen any
solid residue. Use it only when valve is fully open.
3. Wipe crumbs from splashdeck while fryer is empty. Plug
the motor into the outlet.
NOTE: On units with more than one fryer or a separate cabinet
for the filter system, you must open the return valve handle
(small black knob next to drain handle) by pulling it forward. This
will allow the oil to pump into the correct fryer.
4. On the filter panel, turn the pump switch to the “ON” position.
The green light will illuminate. Refer to Figure 5.
NOTE: If oil does not return to fryer, check the following:
1. Filter tub setup (See Fig. 1)
2. Tub to motor connection (See Fig. 2)
3. Figure 4 (Water may have clogged the paper)
4. Return valve for units with more than one fryer or
separate filter cabinet is not opened.
5. Let the pump run with drain valve open to remove crumbs
and residue from the bottom of fryer and the drain lines.

Push the motor reset button located on the filter panel. Check
filtering procedure or clean tub and paper if needed.
6. Let swirling action rinse down fryer.
7. Fully drain fryer.
NOTE: Pump should be run for at least 30 seconds after
crumbs are removed from fryer. This will help prevent blockage
in the drain lines.
8. Close drain valve by pushing in the large black knob and
locking it into place and completely refill fryer. Refer to
Figure 6.
NOTE: The drain valve handle controls fryer’s Main Power
Switch. If drain valve is not fully closed and locked, fryer
will not operate. See Figure 6.
9. Turn pump switch to the “OFF” position. Close return valve
by pushing in the small black knob completely, after turning
OFF the pump switch (for units with more than one fryer or
central filter). See Figure 7.
D. CLEAN UP
WARNING
Filter drawer and pipes will remain hot following filtration.
Allow the unit to cool down before clean up. Failure to do
so may result in serious injury to the operator.
See 1-4 on page 1.
5. Remove crumb basket.
6. Push down on the 2 tension arms on the hold down ring,
rotate 90°, and remove.
7. Remove the used filter paper and discard.
8. Remove sump screen.
9. Throughly clean the entire filter tub and all components.
NOTE: Tub and components are diswasher safe.
10. Prepare drawer for next use (see section A “Preparing the
Filter Drawer”).
NOTE: Instructions for cleaning the fryer are in the Operating
Section of the Fryer Service Manual.
E. DISCARDING THE OIL
NOTE: The 6 foot hose provided with the filters should
be used to discard the oil ONLY. DO NOT use the filter
assembly to transport hot oil. DO NOT remove filter tub
containing hot oil!
1. Prepare the filter drawer (see section A).
NOTE: Acidox is not needed when discarding the oil.
2. Prepare the oil (see section B).
3. Connect the hose to the right side of the filter assembly in
the front. See Figure 8.

CAUTION
A KEATING FRYER OR FILTER SHOULD BE DRAINED
ONLY UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF PROPERLY
TRAINED PERSONNEL. WHEN DISCARDING OIL, A
COVERED RECEPTACLE APPROVED FOR USE WITH
HOT OIL SHOULD BE USED. USE OF A NON-APPROVED
RECEPTACLE OR METHOD OF DRAINING THE OIL
COULD JEOPARDIZE THE SAFETY OF THE OPERATOR.
NOTE: Keep the pump turned “ON” until bubbles occur
in the discard receptacle. Allow the pump to run an
additional 15 seconds to clear all pipes.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE: 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. Verify all connections, especially quick disconnects (under tub and inside fryer or CF cabinet) are
tight; not leaking oil or sucking air.
3. Use only one sheet of filter paper properly sealed under hold down ring.
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.
