2. IMPORTANT INFORMATION

2.1 GENERAL: The Micro-Flo CF-35,

CF-60, and CF-80 Cascade Oil Filters are
units with an oil capacity of 50 pounds,
60 pounds, and 110 pounds (respectively)
that fit inside the Dean Industries’
Decathlon D35G, D60G, and D80G
fryers. The Cascade Filters can be used
as portable units also.

The used oil drains by gravity from the
fryer into the filter pan and then it 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.

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 cleaning of the filter.

special parts or information, this data is
essential for proper identification.

2.5 PRE-INSTALLATION:

a. GENERAL: These filters, when

used in combination with a fryer,
require no additional space. When
used as a portable filter, it will require
an area of floor space approximately
1-1/2' x 2-1/2' (3.75 sq ft).

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 a pan heater. Only one
connection is required to a
115V/60HZ 15-amp electrical supply
receptacle on the fryer. When used as
a portable filter, the 2-1/2' flexible 16­3 SJT power cord is to be connected
to a suitable extension cord.

2.2 OPERATING CONTROLS: An

“ON/OFF” switch is mounted on the
pump motor housing. If equipped with an
optional pan heater, a three (3) position
switch (HEAT/OFF/PUMP) is mounted
on the pump motor housing in lieu of the
“ON/OFF” switch.

2.3 SAFETY FEATURES: A 7-amp

circuit breaker switches the power OFF if
an overload occurs.

NOTE: IF CIRCUIT BREAKER IS
TRIGGERED, THE RESET BUTTON
NEEDS TO BE DEPRESSED TO
ACIVATE THE CIRCUIT AFTER
NATURE OF FAILURE HAS BEEN
DETECTED AND FIXED.

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
