ASSEMBLY
Place the Paper Support Rack inside the
filter envelope so that the threaded
coupling fits into the hole cut in the top of
the paper. Fold the open end of the filter
envelope over two times and push the Clip
over folded end of filter envelope. Thread
the Pick Up Tube onto the threaded
coupling and hand tighten. Insert filter
envelope assembly into filter pan and
connect the Pick Up Tube Union to the
Pump assembly.
Sprinkle filter powder over filter envelope
assembly, if desired.
Install Filter Pan Cover onto Filter Pan and
Filter Crumb Catch into Filter Pan Cover.
OPERATION
Push the filter unit up to the fryer to be filtered and plug in the power cord into the electrical supply. Screw the
draining adapter into the fryer drain valve so that the oil can be drained into the filter. Adjust location of filter pan
so drain adapter will drain into Filter Crumb Catch. Turn fryer off. Carefully open the drain valve and drain the
oil into the filter pan.
Position Refill Tube outlet
over the fry pot of the fryer.
Press the power switch to the
On position and allow the oil
to return to the fry pot. The
returning oil will wash any
remaining debris from the
bottom of the fry pot. When
the fry pot is clear close drain
valve and return all of the oil.
After all the oil has been
returned to the fry tank the
filter will begin to pump air,
this will be evident by a
significantly reduced flow from
the Refill Tube. Allow filter to
pump air for about 15
seconds, press the power
switch to the OFF position.
The filtering process is now complete.
To allow oil to drain from refill tube, wait 15 seconds after filtering is completed to move filter.
CLEANING
Disassemble filter pan and remove Filter Pump assembly from filter pan. Clean with a general degreasing
detergent, rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly. All components that can be removed from the filter unit
may be cleaned in a dish washer. This is generally a good time to install a fresh filter paper in preparation for the
next filtering.
