2. IMPORTANT INFORMATION

CLEANING OF THE FILTER.

2.1 GENERAL: The Super Cascade Oil

Filters are units that fit inside the Dean
Industries’ Super Marathon, Decathlon,
18UE, and Flatbottom fryers.

The used oil drains by gravity from the
fryer into the filter pan and then is pumped
back to the fryer vessel.

Filtering is accomplished through two
sheets of replaceable filter paper assisted
by a micro pre-coat filter powder or by
means of a Magnum Filter Leaf Assembly.

CAUTION

THE ON-SITE SUPERVISOR IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT
OPERATORS ARE MADE AWARE OF
THE INHERENT DANGERS OF
OPERATING A HOT OIL FILTER
SYSTEM, PARTICULARLY ASPECTS OF
OIL FILTRATION, DRAINING, AND

2.2 OPERATING CONTROLS: An

“ON/OFF” switch is mounted on the fryer.
If equipped with an optional in-line heater,
a three (3) position switch
(HEAT/OFF/PUMP) is mounted on the
fryer in lieu of the “ON/OFF” switch.
This optional heater probe is offered with
the 2424-SCF System.

2.3 SAFETY FEATURES: A 5-amp

(230V) or a 7-amp (115V) circuit breaker
switches the power OFF if an overload
occurs.

additional space for filter storage.

b. STANDARDS: Installation must be

in accordance with all applicable state
and local codes.

c. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:

The filter may or may not be equipped
with an in-line heater. This filter
circuit is provided with an independent
electrical supply connection on the
fryer system.

2.6 UNPACKING THE FILTER:

Loose parts include starter kit and
accessories that may have been ordered.
These are packaged inside the filter tank.
The tank top is strapped to the shipping
frame. Do not discard or misplace these,
as they will be needed.

After unpacking, immediately check the
equipment for visible signs of shipping
damage. If such damage has occurred,
contact the carrier and file the appropriate
freight claims. Do not contact the factory,

WARNING!

DO NOT RUN WATER THROUGH
THE FILTERING SYSTEM. THE
FILTER PUMP IS NOT DESIGNED TO
HANDLE WATER. THIS WILL VOID
THE WARRANTY FOR THAT
SYSTEM, DAMAGE THE PUMP AND
CAUSE ACCIDENTS IF WATER
MIXES WITH HOT OIL.

3.2 ASSEMBLYING THE FILTER:

The Super Cascade Filter is available in two
configurations. The configurations differ in
the filtering medium used. The first
configuration uses filter paper and a hold­down ring to secure that paper. The second
configuration, found on certain 2424SCFs
only, uses a Magnum Filter Leaf Kit instead
of filter paper as a filtering medium.

Filter Paper Configuration:

a. Figure 3-1 shows the proper assembly of

these parts:

1. Filter Pan Cover

2. Crumb Catcher Screen

3. Filter Paper (2 sheets)

4. Hold-Down Ring

5. Protective Screen/Support Grid

6. Filter Pan Assembly

b. First place the support grid in the bottom

of filter pan.

c. Put two filter paper sheets on top of the

support grid. Be sure the paper covers the
whole filter pan bottom.

d. Position the hold-down ring on top of the

filter papers and latch the hold-down ring
and filter papers securely against the filter
pan bottom. When positioning the hold­down ring, do it evenly around the filter
pan and papers to create a good seal
around the support grid which prevents
any air from getting into the system.

e. Sprinkle 16 ounces of filter powder on the

top filter sheet. Ensure that the powder
covers the filter paper evenly.

f. Place the crumb catcher screen in the

filter pan. Allow the crumb catcher to
rest on the top edges of the hold-down
ring.

assembly.

h. Roll the filter into position, either inside

the fryer for built-in operations, or
position the filter underneath the fryer
drain valve for portable operations.

i. Prior to connecting the oil return lines,

ensure the filter switch is “OFF”.

f. Connect the oil return line connector to

the fryer’s oil return line quick disconnect
coupling.

3.3 INSTALLING THE FILTER IN

THE FRYER:

a. Slide the filter inside the fryer cabinet.
b. Connect the filter’s oil return line (male

quick disconnect) into the quick
disconnect (female) in the fryer’s return
line. See figure 3-3.

j. Then connect the oil return line to the

fryer’s oil return line quick disconnect
coupling.

Magnum Filter Leaf Kit:

a. Place the Magnum Filter Leaf in the

bottom of filter pan. Ensure oil intake
pipe is aligned properly with the opening
on the filter pan lid.

b. Sprinkle Magnasol powder into oil in the

fry vessel. Do not sprinkle Magnasol
powder in the filter unit as this will clog
the oil intake in the filter pan bottom.

c. Place filter pan cover onto the filter pan

assembly.

d. Roll the filter into position inside the

fryer.

Figure 3-3

e. Before connecting the oil return lines,

ensure the filter switch is “OFF” and the
