3.1 Equipment Setup and Shutdown Procedures
Setup
DANGER
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled to the fill line
with water or oil before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will result in irreparable
damage to the elements and may cause a fire.
DANGER
Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with oil. Failure to do so will cause
spattering of hot liquid when the oil is heated to cooking temperature.
WARNING
The FilterQuick™ is not intended to use solid shortening without a solid shortening kit
installed. Use only liquid shortening with this fryer if a solid shortening kit is not installed.
The use of solid shortening without a solid shortening kit will clog the oil lines. The oil
capacity of the FilterQuick™ fryer is 31 lbs. (3.7 gallons/14 liters) for a full-vat and 15.5 lbs.
(2.5 gallons/7 liters) for a dual-vat at 70°F (21°C).
WARNING
Always fill both sides of a split-pot vat when heating for any purpose, testing, cooking or
boiling out the vat.
1. Fill the frypot with cooking oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot. This will
allow for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill cold oil any higher than the bottom line; overflow
may occur as heat expands the oil. For bulk oil systems see Section 1.9.8 on page 1-16 in the
FilterQuick™ Controller Manual 8197206 for instructions to fill the vat from bulk.
2. Ensure that the power cord(s) is/are plugged and locked (if applicable) into the appropriate receptacle(s).
Verify that the face of the plug is flush with the outlet plate, with no portion of the prongs visible.
3. Ensure that the power is switched on. Some models are equipped with a master switch located behind the
fryer door cabinet on the front panel of the component box, next to the fuse.
4. Ensure that the controller is switched ON. When the controller is switched on, the fryer will begin
heating and will display MLT-CYCL alternating with the fryer temperature until the fryer reaches 180°F
(82°C). The fryer temperature is displayed until within 2°F of setpoint. Once the fryer reaches setpoint,
the controller display changes Ready and the fryer is ready for use. To exit the melt cycle, press the
EXIT COOL button. Answer YES to EXIT MELT?
5. Ensure that the oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the oil is at its cooking temperature.
6. The maximum batch load for French Fries in oil or fat shall be no more than 1½ pounds or 0.7 kilograms.
Shutdown

Operation Manual 8197206 for programming and operating procedures.
FILTERQUICK CONTROLLER
Refer to Chapter 5 of this manual for operating instructions for the built-in filtration system.
3.3 Oil Attendant®Automatic Top-Off
When the Oil Attendant®top-off oil
system is in place on the fryer, oil is
continually topped off in the frypots from
a reservoir in the cabinet. The reservoir
holds a 35 pound box of oil. In a typical
operation this will last approximately two
days before changing.
Components of the system are annotated
at the right (see Figure 1).
NOTE: The top off system is intended
to top off the frypots, not fill them. The
frypots will require manual filling upon
startup and after disposal.
Special Cap: Has plumbing
attached to draw oil from the
reservoir to the fryer vats.
Jug In Box (JIB):
The JIB is the
reservoir for the oil.
JIB (Jug In Box) Low
Reset Switch: Resets
the ATO system after
oil change.

3.3.1 Install the Oil Reservoir
Remove the original lid from the oil container and foil liner. Replace with the provided cap, which has
connected suction hardware. Ensure the feeder tube from the cap reaches to the bottom of the oil
container.
Place the oil container inside the cabinet and slide it into place (as shown on the following page).
Avoid catching the suction hardware on the cabinet interior as the container is placed in the fryer.
The system is now ready for operation. As the fryer heats to preprogrammed temperatures, the system
will energize and then slowly add oil to the frypot as needed, until the oil reaches an optimal level.

3.3.2 Routine Oil Changes
When the oil reservoir level is low, the controller displays TOPOFF OIL EMPTY in the left
display and CONFIRM in the right display. Press (CONFIRM). Some procedures may differ from
photos shown. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for changing the JIB. If using solid shortening see
Appendix C in the rear of this manual for instructions.
1. Open the cabinet and slide the JIB from
the cabinet (see Figure 2).

CHAPTER 4: FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 Introduction
The FilterQuick™with fingertip filtration system allows the oil in one frypot to be safely and
efficiently filtered while the other frypots in a battery remain in operation.
Section 4.2 covers preparation of the filter system for use. Operation of the system is covered in
Section 4.3.
WARNING
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of
the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects
of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.
WARNING
The filter pad or paper MUST be replaced daily or when the sediment level exceeds
the height of the hold down ring.
4.2 Preparing the FilterQuick™ with Fingertip Filtration System for Use with Filter
Paper or Filter Pad
The FilterQuick™with fingertip filtration system allows the oil in one frypot to be safely and
efficiently filtered while the other frypots in a battery remain in operation. The FilterQuick™
filtration system uses a filter paper configuration which includes a crumb tray, large hold-down ring,
and metal filter screen.
1. Pull the filter pan out from the cabinet and
remove the crumb tray, hold-down ring, filter
paper and filter screen (see Figure1). Clean
all components with a solution of detergent
and hot water then dry thoroughly.
The pan cover must not be removed except
for cleaning, interior access, or to allow a
shortening disposal unit (SDU) built before
January 2004 to be positioned under the
drain. Disposal instructions are in the
controller manual 8197206.
Figure 1

4-2
2. Inspect the filter pan connection fitting to ensure that
both O-rings are in good condition (see Figure 2).
3. Then in reverse order, place the metal filter screen in
the center of the bottom of the pan, then lay a sheet of
filter paper on top of the screen, overlapping on all
sides (see Figure1). If using a filter pad, ensure the
rough side of the pad is up and lay the pad over the
screen, making sure that the pad is in between the
embossed ridges of the filter pan.
4. Position the hold-down ring over the filter paper and
lower the ring into the pan, allowing the paper to rest
on the sides of the filter pan (see Figure 3).
5. When the hold-down ring is in position, if using filter
paper, sprinkle one packet of filter powder evenly
over the paper. (See Figure 4)
6. Replace the crumb tray in the filter pan, then push the
filter pan back into the fryer, positioning it under the
drain.

Figure 4
DO NOT USE FILTER POWDER WITH THE PAD!
7. Push the filter pan back into the fryer, positioning it under the fryer. Ensure “A” is displayed on
the MIB board. The filtration system is now ready for use.
DANGER
Do not drain more than one frypot at a time into the built-in filtration unit to avoid
overflow and spillage of hot oil that may cause severe burns, slipping and falling.
DANGER
The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system 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.
WARNING
Do not bang fry baskets or other utensils on the fryer’s joiner strip. The strip is
present to seal the joint between the fry vessels. Banging fry baskets on the strip to
dislodge shortening will distort the strip, adversely affecting its fit. It is designed for
a tight fit and should only be removed for cleaning.
4.3 FilterQuick™with Fingertip Filtration
The FilterQuick™controller has a feature that will prompt the operator to begin the semi-automatic
filtration process, after a number of preset cook cycles.
Inspect the filter
connection fitting
O-rings.
