CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION

2.1 General (cont.)

The used oil may be drained by gravity from the fryer into the filter pan (MF90 "U" models), or
removed from the fryer by use of a suction/return hose (MF90 "AU" models). On "AU" models, the
oil is pumped back into the frypot using the same suction/return hose.

Oil or shortening is filtered through filter paper. Filter powder, which enhances the filtering process,
is distributed over the paper prior to filtering.

All units are shipped completely assembled with accessories packed inside the filter pan. All units
are adjusted, tested and inspected at the factory before shipment.

WARNING

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 the aspects of

oil filtration, and draining/cleaning procedures.

A 7-amp (115V-domestic) or 5-amp (230V-international) circuit breaker installed on the filter unit
switches the power OFF if an overload occurs.

NOTE: If the circuit breaker is triggered, depress the reset button to activate the circuit after the

failure has been detected and repaired.

2.2 Rating Plate

Information on the rating plate includes model and serial numbers, as well as electrical requirements.

These tools are not required, but are recommended to make the filtering task easier.
A. Measuring Cup: Used to measure eight ounces by volume of filter powder.

B. Scrub Brush: To clean sediment and residue from the filter pan and frypot.
C. Appropriate Clothing.

4.3 Filter Preparation

1. Position the MF-90 filter next to the fryer. Remove filter pan lid and position filter unit
under frypot drain-valve extension ("U" units) or nearby the fryer ("AU" units).

2. Ensure the filter power switch is in "OFF" position prior to connecting to power supply.

3. Plug power cord into electrical outlet. The filter unit is ready for filtering. After filtering,
follow instructions in Section 4.4, Changing Filter Paper.

DANGER

The crumb tray (if equipped) in portable filter systems must be emptied into a

fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles

can spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.

4.4 Changi ng Filter Paper

Filter paper should be replaced after each filter
session, and most certainly at the beginning of
each workday. If filter paper is replaced once
per day, excess sediment should be scraped from
the filter paper after each frypot is filtered (see
photo). Use care not to tear the paper when
scraping off sediment. Filter at closing if
possible. This ensures the oil/shortening is at
proper filtering temperature.

Note: If filtering at closing, remove and discard
the used filter paper in a fire-proof container
when filter operations are complete. Wash all
components in soapy water and dry completely.

If filtering more than one frypot with the same
filter paper, scrape excess sediment from the
filter paper after each filtering.

CHAPTER 4: FILTER OPERATION

4.5 Unit Operation

1. When filtering, follow these steps:

2. Follow the appropriate Sections 4.3 and 4.4 to prepare the filter unit for operation.

3. Position the filter unit under the fryer drain valve extension for gravity drain, or near the fryer for
"suction" operations if the unit is an "AU" unit. On "AU" units, ensure the wand filter screen is
screwed securely onto the wand end, prior to pumping oil/shortening out of fryer.

4. Turn the fryer main power switch to the "OFF" position.

DANGER

Do not leave filter unit unattended during the filtering operation. Pressurized oil

moving through the lines can cause the flexible return hose and wand assembly to

pop loose and spray hot oil.

Avoid spilling hot oil onto floor surfaces. When draining fryer into filter, never

exceed the maximum capacity of the filter pan.

5. Open the fryer door and ensure the filter is in the proper position under the fryer drain valve
extension ("U" units- see photo below), or close to the fryer ("AU" units). Lock rear casters to
prevent filter movement during the filtering process.

4-6

MF90 SERIES PORTABLE FILTRATION SYSTEMS

CHAPTER 4: FILTER OPERATION

4.5 Unit Operation (cont.)

DANGER

The oil temperature of the fryer to be filtered should be approximately 350°F (175°C).

Position drain handles properly prior to operating the filter unit. Failure to do this

can result in burn injury to the user.

6. Open the drain-v alve and allow th e frypot oil

to drain into the filter pan.

Note: When using "AU" units for suction
operation, insert the wand with filter screen
attached into the frypot, then place the switch
in the "IN" position. After all oil has been
pumped from the frypot, insert the wand end
into the wand holster. Ensure the wand is
placed securely in the holster, then place the
switch in the "OUT" position to circulate and
filter the oil.

7. With the oil return wand in frypot, turn filter

switch "ON" to begin pumping clean oil into
the fryer. Allow the oil to recycle through the
fryer for a few seconds t o wash out sediment
on the bottom of the frypot before closing the
drain valve. When using "AU" units for
suction operation, place the switch in the
"OUT" position to return oil to the frypot. If
the frypot is drained by the suction method,
all sediment must be wiped out by hand prior
to returning filtered oil to the frypot.

Note: All units- The oil return wand can also
be mounted in the wand holster inside the pan,
for extended filtering periods (polishing) prior
to refilling frypot. NEVER LEAVE THE
FILTER SYSTEM UNATTENDED WHILE
FILTERING!

units only).

4-7

MF90 SERIES PORTABLE FILTRATION SYSTEMS

CHAPTER 4: FILTER OPERATION

4.5 Unit Operation (cont.)

8. When filtering is complete, close the drain
valve handle. It takes approximately 5 to 7
minutes for the filter to pump all the oil back
into the fryer. For "AU" units, pump the oil
into the frypot after all sediment has been
removed and the drain valve is closed.

9. Allow the pump to run for 10-15 seconds
after air starts to flow through the wand,
before shutting off the filter. Clearing
residual shortening/oil from the return lines
reduces the likelihood of clogged lines.

NOTE: After filtering, scrape off debris and sediment accumulated on the filter paper and

discard into a fire-proof container.

CAUTION

If using solid shortening, the return hose must be completely drained after filtering,

or the shortening will solidify and plug the hose or oil return lines as it cools.

NOTE: If filtration operations problems are encountered during use, please refer to Chapter 6

in this manual.

MF90 SERIES PORTABLE FILTRATION SYSTEMS

CHAPTER 5: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

5.1 General

Cleaning operations fall into three general categories:

• Wiping unit clean after each filter session;

• Cleaning, changing filter paper and preparing the unit for the next day’s business.

• Weekly cleaning to remove oil deposits and other particles that were previously missed.

WARNING

Do not use water jets to clean this equipment. To do so will damage the unit and void

the warranty.

WARNING

Never operate the filter unit unless cooking oil is at operating temperature.

5.2 Each Filter Use

Each time the MF90 filter is used:

• Wash down the insides of the filter pan with hot oil.

• Change filter paper after each filter session or at the end of the day. Scrape sediment from

filter paper after each frypot is filtered within a filter session.

• Wipe up any oil which may have splashed or spilled.

• Wipe all exterior surfaces of the filter unit.

WARNING

Do not run water or boil-out solution through the portable filter. Doing so will cause

irreparable damage to the pump, and void the warranty.

5-1

MF90 SERIES PORTABLE FILTRATION SYSTEMS

CHAPTER 5: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

5.3 Daily- Close Of Business

At the close of a working day, filter the oil in all fryers. When the last fryer is finished, follow these
steps:

1. Ensure the flexible hose and pump lines are clear by running the filter pump for an

additional 10–15 seconds after air bubbles start coming from the oil return line. Then drain
the flexible hose.

2. Remove the filter pan cover and hold-down ring assembly, then remove the filter paper and

filter paper support screen.

3. Discard filter paper.

4. Wash all filter components with soapy water and rinse.

5. Dry all filter parts and filter pan thoroughly before reassembling.

6. Check all fittings at the rear of the filter unit; ensure that all fittings are properly tightened

and no leaks are present.

DANGER

The crumb tray (if applicable) in portable filter systems must be emptied into a

fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles

can spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.

5.4 Weekly

Follow the same procedure as for "Daily", with these additional steps:

• Wash the filter pan with hot, soapy water and a suitable brush. Dry and reassemble with

new filter paper (1 sheet).

• Clean thoroughly under, around, and behind the fryers and filtering area.

• Do not operate motor/pump until all traces of water have been removed from the pan.

Under no circumstances should water or boil-out solution be allowed to enter the pump
housing.

• Check the connections of the inlet lines and tighten if lines become loose or start to leak oil.

MF90 SERIES PORTABLE FILTRATION SYSTEMS

CHAPTER 6: TROUBLESHOOTING

6.1 Operating Problems

Plugged lines and plugged filter paper account for over 90 percent of filtration s ystem malfunctions.
Troubleshooting flowcharts included in this chapter, provide step-by-step instructions to assist the
operator in diagnosing common malfunctions.

A. Plugged Lines

1. To guard against plugged lines when using solid shortening, follow these guidelines:
a. At the end of the filtering cycle, let the filter bubble into the fryer through the flexible

hose for about 10-15 seconds. If it is blowing bubbles, air is moving through the lines
and the filter is less likely to be plugged.

b. When filtering is complete, disconnect the flexible line and hang it up to drain.

B. Plug g e d Paper

Improper use of the filter powder will cause a slow oil flow return rate. The first indication of paper
plugging is a surging, jerking movement of the hose. To correct this, review the instructions for the
correct use of filter powder, and change the filter paper more frequently. When filtering several
fryers prior to changing paper, ensure that excess sediment is scraped off the filter paper after
filtering each frypot. If plugged paper remains a problem, review the chart in section 6.2 for proper
diagnosis.

6.2 General Troubleshooting

The following chart contains information to assist the user in diagnosing the most common
malfunctions with portable filtration systems. Possible solutions and/or corrective actions are given
for each scenario.

If the malfunction cannot be diagnosed using the information in this section, contact your Factory
Authorized Service Agent for repairs.

DANGER

Use extreme care when testing electrical circuits. Live circuits will be exposed.

DANGER

Inspection, testing and repair of gas or electrical equipment should be performed by

qualified personnel.
