CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION

2.1 General (cont.)

Oil or shortening is gravity-drained from the fryer into the filter, and then 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.

An ON/OFF switch activates/deactivates the
filter pump, and a 7-amp (120V), or 5-amp
(230V) circuit breaker switches the power OFF if
an overload occurs. An internal backup thermal­overload switch on the pump-motor provides
additional protection.

NOTE: If the circuit breaker is triggered,

depress the reset button to activate the
circuit after the failure has been
detected and repaired.
