If you accept the machine from the shipping
company, you are, in effect, saying that the
machine is in good condition, and you must
pay for the machine. Belshaw cannot pay for

shipping damage, because the freight company
has accepted the machine from Belshaw in good
condition, and is responsible for its safe delivery.
For your protection, inspect the machine to see
that no parts are bent, scratched, or otherwise
damaged. If any damage has occurred in
shipping, file a freight claim with the shipping
company immediately.

Preface

The Shortening Filter is designed to do the
following things:

• To filter shortening

• To pump filtered shortening into fryer

kettles

• To rinse fryer kettles with shortening

It is not designed to melt shortening or to filter or
pump anything other than shortening.

ATTENTION

The SF Filter is not designed for use with

non-liquid Trans Fat Free shortening. Use

of non-liquid Trans Fat Free shortening

will void the warranty for the Filter Pump

and Motor.

The machine is available with the following
electrical configurations:

• Never let water and hot shortening come in

contact with each other. Moisture causes
hot shortening to spatter, which may cause
serious burns.

• Do not overfill the kettle of the Shortening

Filter with shortening. If shortening
overflows the kettle, it could cause serious
burns or could cause someone to slip on the
floor and be seriously injured.

• Hot shortening can cause serious burns.

Make sure that proper protective gear (face
shield, gloves and apron) are worn before
filtering, disassembly and cleaning.

• To avoid electrocution or other injury,

unplug the machine before attempting any
adjustment, repair, disassembly, or cleaning.

• To avoid damaging the machine, never use

force to assemble, disassemble, operate,
clean, or maintain it.

• 115 volts, 1 phase, 50/60 hertz

• 220/240 volts, 1 phase, 50/60 hertz

The Shortening Filter is designed to be used on a
flat, dry floor, underneath the drain of a fryer
kettle. The operator must work safely at all
times and 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
Shortening Filter will prevent production delays
and injuries.

To use the Shortening Filter safely, heed the
following warnings and all other warnings that
appear in this manual:

• 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. Materials on the floor can
cause people to slip or fall, resulting in
serious injury or loss of life.

• To prevent unintentional startup and

possible shortening spillage or fire, unplug
the machine if there is a local power outage.
When the power is restored, it is safe to plug
the machine in again.

• To avoid electrocution, make sure that all

electrical cords are not frayed or cracked
and that they do not pass through any water
or shortening.

• Make sure that all electrical cords are routed

so that no one will trip over them.
