FILTER CARTRIDGE DIRECTIONS:

To insert or replace the filter cartridge in the unit, follow these simple steps:

1) Remove cartridge support assembly by lifting straight up, and applying a twisting motion. Discard the
used cartridge. Wipe machine down with a clean cloth.

DO NOT USE WATER OR OTHER CLEANING SOLUTIONS WHEN CLEANING

THE FRY-SAVER®.

2) Place the cartridge support assembly over the center tube in the filter tank. Push down until the
cartridge support rests on the bottom of the tank.

3) Place the pleated filter cartridge (pleats facing up) over the cartridge support. Push down on the outer
rim until the cartridge rests on the support bead.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE PLEATS. Improper handling will crush them.

NOTE: Each filter cartridge can be used to filter up to 1,000 pounds of oil before a new cartridge must be

used. This equates to the cartridge being entirely covered with foreign matter.

It is recommended that you only remove and re-insert the cartridge when it needs to be replaced. By
continuously removing and re-inserting the cartridge, you will lessen its efficiency by breaking the seal
formed around the cartridge diameter. This allows for oil and particles to flow into the filtered oil and re­contaminate the oil.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before operating the filter, check the control lever and heater switch to see that they are in the "OFF"
position. The drain valve should be in the “CLOSED” position too. The filter cartridge should be inserted
as well (SEE FILTER CARTRIDGE DIRECTIONS).

NOTE: The FRY-SAVER® is equipped with a circuit breaker to protect against electric overload or short­circuiting. If the unit is plugged in and does not operate, simply push the circuit breaker button located on
the face of the control panel and hold in for a few seconds. If the unit still does not operate, unplug and call
either a service technician or our office at 1-800-935-2211 or 718-932-1414. DO NOT CONTINUE TO
PUSH THE BUTTON! THIS WILL HARM THE MOTOR.

1) Turn off the fryer. Wait for the temperature of the oil to cool down to approximately 250° F. If you are
using solid shortening, see below.

2) Plug the FRY-SAVER® into the correct service outlet.

The FRY-SAVER® is equipped with an additional "pre-heat" feature for when the cooking oil is solidified
or thick.

A) Pre-heat the unit by turning the heater switch to "ON" and allow the unit to heat for

approximately 15 minutes. You will know the unit is ready because suction is felt at the
nozzle when the control switch is turned to "FILL."

Page 2

B) When the machine is pre-heated, turn the heater switch to "OFF" and proceed with filtering.

3) Place the nozzle in the cooking oil approximately 2 inches. DO NOT REST THE NOZZLE ON THE BOTTOM
OF THE FRYER. This will prevent the nozzle from becoming clogged with solid particles.

4) Turn the control switch to "FILL", keeping the nozzle tip submerged as oil is pumped into the filter.

5) When most of the oil is transferred from the fryer to the filter, turn the control switch to "OFF" and clean the fryer as
you normally would. DO NOT TRANSFER WATER AND SOLID PARTICLES FOUND ON THE BOTTOM
OF THE FRYER. You do not want to mix water and oil together.

6) Place the nozzle in the filter tank through the hole in the cover. DO NOT rest the nozzle on the cartridge. Turn the
control switch to "filter" and allow the oil to pass through the cartridge while you clean the fryer.

7) After you have removed most of the oil, only sediment and water is left. Place a container under the drain valve in
front of the fryer and open the valve to empty the unit. When the fryer is empty, follow the manufacturer's instructions
for cleaning.

8) Once the fryer is cleaned, the oil in the FRY-SAVER® tank can be transferred back to the fryer.

9) Turn the control switch on the FRY-SAVER® to "OFF" and position the nozzle in the fryer. Switch the control lever
to "FILTER" and run until all the cooking oil is transferred back into the fryer. When finished, turn the control switch
"OFF" and replace the nozzle in the cover for storage.

Even though you have emptied the FRY-SAVER® of oil, there will still be some residual oil in the valve and hose. This oil
must be drained so it does not cause any clogging.

Place a pan or other suitable container under the valve located below the flexible hose connection at the bottom of the filter
tank. Turn the valve cock open until dripping stops. Then close the drain valve. THE DRAIN VALVE MUST BE

CLOSED BEFORE FILTERING.

FRY-SAVER® FILTER CARTRIDGES:

The filter cartridge has an average life of approximately 1,000 pounds of oil before needing to be replaced. If you are
uncertain how many pounds you have filtered, the easiest rule of thumb is to replace the cartridge when the pleats are
completely filled with sediment.

NOTE: DO NOT CONTINUOUSLY REMOVE AND RE-INSERT THE FILTER CARTRIDGE, AS THIS WILL
CAUSE THE SEAL AROUND THE EDGE OF THE PAN TO BECOME STRIPPED.

Two Ways To Extend The Life Of The Cartridge

1. Use the stainless steel pre-filter assembly and pre-filter paper that is available as an accessory

2. Re-use the old cartridge as well as a new one

The pre-filter assembly and paper are available from your local dealer and highly
recommended to further eliminate larger particles during the filtering process.

To re-use the old cartridge, first remove it from the unit and install a new cartridge.
Take the used cartridge and empty out all the particles that have collected in the
pleats. Remove the cloth wick around the outside edge of the old cartridge and
place it on top of the new cartridge. This will extend the life of the new cartridge.

On the next change of cartridges, remove both the old and the newer discarding the
top cartridge. Install the new cartridge on the bottom and place the cartridge that
was on the bottom, on the top. This process can be continued indefinitely.

FRY-SAVER® Trouble Shooting Guide

Trouble Cause Solution

1) FRY-SAVER® does not start

2) FRY-SAVER® will not fill

Power “OFF”

Circuit breaker on the unit may be “OFF”

Pump may be jammed

Solid fat clogged in valve assembly

Motor Burnout Replace Motor

Oil temperature is above 250°F. Allow oil to cool

Drain valve open Close the drain valve.

Check that power cord is plugged into the
proper outlet and the outlet has current.

Check that the “Fill-Filter” switch is in the
“OFF” position. Re-set the circuit breaker
by pressing the button and holding it for 5
seconds.

Use hand crank to manually release the
pump. Insert the flattened end of the crank
onto the pump shaft at the offset vent hole
on the bottom of the unit. Turn the crank
several times in both directions to release
pump. MAKE CERTAIN POWER IS
“OFF” BEFOREHAND.

Turn the heater switch “ON” to pre-heat
the fat.

Make certain hose assembly does not have

Loose hose connection

V-Belt is loose or broken Tighten V-belt or replace

Fill-filter switch is not working

3) Gurgling Noise – oil is filling from
under the cartridge instead of over
the top

4) FRY-SAVER® is not filtering

5) FRY-SAVER® leaks at bottom

The FRY-SAVER is equipped with an additional crank handle that can be used to free the pump should it become jammed with
hardened oil. One or two turns of the pump manually will clear any jammed particles.

Valve assembly is jammed

Filter cartridge is clogged Replace cartridge

Drain valve open Close drain

Loose hose connection

O-rings in valve assembly are bad

any breaks or loose connections. If hose is
cracked, replace hose.

Check wiring—if no evidence of loose
connection, replace the switch.

Contact service agency to repair the
raceway.

Check hose for breaks and/or loose
connections. Replace hose if necessary.

Filtering at excessive temperature.
Replace the o-rings.
