until it meets resistance. If the hose is bent
beyond this point or is crimped, it could
crack causing it to leak hot oil which causes
severe burns. If the hose is cracked and/or
leaking, do not use it until it has been re-
placed or repaired.
OPERATION
1. Lightfryersand set temperaturenormallyused for
cooking product. Allow shortening to reach this
temperature,thenturn off allburnersand pilotsbefore
proceeding.
CAUTION: Wear protective equipment such
as gloves, face shields and apron.
2. Slowly agitate shortening in all fryers with special
maplewoodpaddle to blendhotand cold shortening,
to boil off excess moisture, and to bring any debris to
surface.
3. Agitate the second vat while the first fry vat is boiling.
Proceed in this manner until all vats are agitated.
4. Returntothe first vatandreagitate the shortening.
Do so until all vats are finished boiling.
CAUTION: Excessive moisture could cause
fryer to boil over. Continue agitation until all
boiling ceases. Then skim the surface of the
shortening to remove any debris.
5. Relightallfryers and settemperatureyou normally
use for cooking product. Allow shortening to reach
thistemperaturebeforeproceeding.
6. Shut off burners and pilot on first fryer.
7. Roll assembled filter in position under drain and place
a strainer to catch large particles when fryer is
draining.
8. Opendrainslowly and allowhotshortening to flow
through strainer into bowl until bowl is about 1-inch
full. Thenopendrain fully.
IMPORTANT: It may be necessary to insert a metal rod

9. When fryer is empty, leave drain open. Direct nozzle
of hose into fryer and turn on switch on motor. Flush
debrisfromfryer with hotshortening.
10. When fryer is clean of all debris, turn off motor,
replacenozzlein holder,andproceed to cleanfryer
vat.
11. Torecirculatethe shortening movevalveA tothe
right. The shortening will now bypass the hose and
go through pipe B into the filter bowl. Recirculate
figure 6
shortening for 5 minutes. When the recirculating time
is up, shut off the motor and move valve A to the left.
Theshorteningwillnow go throughoutthehose. See
figure6.
CAUTION: Do not recirculate with nozzle
holster, the nozzle could slip out and spray
hot shortening causing burns.
12. Aftercleaning vat, turnonmotor and usefiltered
shorteningtorinse fryer clean.
13. Close drain and complete filtration by filling fryer with
filteredshortening.
14. Relightfryer and settoproper frying orblanching
temperature.
15. Repeatsteps 4 through7for remaining fryers.
IMPORTANT: If it is necessary at any time to use filter
machine to discard shortening be sure a paper filter is
used to catch any debris to prevent clogging of the pump.
CLEANING
CAUTION: Parts are hot. Handle with care
and use gloves.
1. Unplug electric cord. Immediately disconnect hose
from pump and allow hose to drain into bowl to
removeexcessshortening.
2. Uncouplepumpfrom standpipeandlift motor assem-
blyfrombowl.
