Preface
The EZ Melt, Fill and Filter models EZ18, EZ24, and EZ34 are designed to be used with Belshaw fryers. It performs four functions:
It melts shortening
It holds shortening
It supplies shortening to the fryer kettle
It filters used shortening for re-use
It is not designed to perform any other functions. The EZ Melt, Fill and Filter uses electrical elements to melt shortening.
The EZ Melt moves around on casters. It is meant to be used on the floor. The operator of the EZ Melt is expected to behave safely and to read this manual and follow its instructions and warnings.
Study the instructions and warnings in this manual carefully. A thorough understanding of how to install, maintain, and safely operate the EZ Melt, Fill and Filter will prevent production delays and injuries.
To use the EZ Melt safely, heed the following warnings and all other warnings that appear in this manual:
Make sure all hose connections are tight.
If you do not, you may be sprayed with hot shortening. This could result in serious burns.
Make sure no water gets into the
shortening. Water causes hot shortening to spatter, which could cause serious burns.
Make sure the EZ Melt kettle has enough
room in it before draining shortening from the fryer. If you do not, shortening may overflow the kettle and get on the
floor, possibly causing slips, falls, injury, burns, or even death.
Hot shortening can cause serious burns.
Make sure that proper protective gear (face shield, gloves and apron) are worn before filtering, disassembly and cleaning.
Make sure the nozzle of the supply hose
is securely mounted on the side of the fryer before turning on the pump. If you do not, hot shortening could spray you, resulting in serious burns. Also, shortening could get on the floor, possibly causing slips, falls, injury, burns, or even death.
Make sure that the system and the
shortening are cool before attempting any adjustments or repairs. If you do not, you may be burned.
Be careful never to get shortening,
water, or other materials on the floor. If anything does get spilled on the floor, mop it up immediately. If you do not, someone could slip or fall, be burned or injured, or even die.
To avoid damaging the EZ Melt, never
use force to assemble, disassemble, operate, clean, or maintain it.
To avoid electrocution, make sure that
the power cord is not frayed or cracked and that it does not pass through any water or shortening.
Make sure that the power cord is routed
so that no one will trip over it.

Melting and Filling
1. Completely cover the heating element with shortening. There are two ways to do this:
Pre-melt some shortening in a pan on the
stove and pour it into the kettle to cover the element.
Pack solid shortening tightly around the
heating element and bulbs. Do not leave any air spaces. Cover the heating element at least 2”/5 cm. (See Figure 1-6)
WARNING
Air spaces can cause the shortening to
overheat and catch on fire.
Figure 1-7. Cube Melter
2. Install the cube melter in the kettle, opposite the heater head. Push the cube melter through the shortening so its legs rest on the bottom of the kettle. (See Figures 1-7 & 1-8.)
Figure 1-6. Packing Solid Shortening in the
Kettle.
Figure 1-8. Installing the Cube Melter.
3. Position the EZ Melt near the fryer.
4. Install the supply hose. Follow these steps: a. Attach the hose to the pump outlet by
hand-tightening the hose connector.
b. Mount the nozzle of the hose on the edge
of the fryer kettle with the opening inside the kettle.
