A. PREPARING THE FILTER-DRAWER

CAUTION

WATER IN ANY FORM & HOT OIL DON'T MIX!

NOTE: Operator should be outfitted with proper

protective attire: safety goggles, oil and heat
resistant gloves, apron and footwear

Filter assembly inside of cabinet:

1. Pull the handle marked “Pull to Release Filter”
(top of filter panel).

2. Remove the entire assembly from the cabinet by rolling it
forward.

3. Pull the handle marked “Pull to Release Tub”
(bottom of panel)

4. Slide the tub back, lift up and remove from cart.

5. Ensure all compnents are clean
(NOTE: Filter tub and components are dishwasher safe).

6. Install components into tub as follows:

a. Sump screen
b. Filter paper
c. Hold down ring (Note 1)
d. Acidox (1 package per 40lbs oil) (Note 2)
e. Crumb basket

See Figure 1

NOTE 1: Hold down ring makes a gasket-like seal on filter

paper. Filter paper must be placed edge to edge from front to
back, overlapping on sides. Filter Paper must be smooth and
flat under hold down ring to get a proper seal. Lock the two
tension arms into place.

NOTE 2: One package of Acidox is needed for every 40
pounds of oil.

7. Place entire tub assembly onto the cart (NOTE: Ensure

the lip on the tub goes under

the cart frame in the rear).

8. Reconnect the tub to the motor by pulling together the
handles on the front of the tub and the handles on the
side of the motor housing.

See Figure 2

NOTE: Push on the front of the tub to verify connection. If tub

moves, repeat steps 7-8.

9. Sprinkle Keating Acidox Powder evenly over the paper.

10. Replace crumb basket and push drawer fully into cabinet.
Ensure the connection on top of the housing mates with the
connection inside the cabinet.

Pull the front of the filter system lightly to verify proper
connection

NOTE: Cabinet door should be closed during filtration.

NOTE: For best results, new filter paper and Acidox Powder

must be used for each fryer.

B. PREPARING OIL FOR FILTRATION

NOTE: Oil in fryer must be between 250° - 350°F.

1. Turn fryer completely off.

2. Remove screen from over tubes/element with tongs or a
Drain Clean Out Rod. Refer to Figure 3.

CAUTION

Screen over tubes will be very hot and should be moved to
a safe place.

3. Use spoon provided to stir oil. Bubbling will occur until all
water is removed. Failure to do so will clog the filter paper.
Refer to Figure 4.

NOTE: Water settles in the cooler oil in the Cold Zone. If the
water is not removed, the filter paper absorbs the water
preventing the oil from passing through it.

C. FILTRATION

1. On filter assembly, have handle with the black knob set to
oil to fryer. Refer to Figure 5.

2. Open the drain valve slowly by lifting and then pulling the
drain valve handle and drain fryer (handle with largest black
knob).

NOTE: A Drain Clean Out Rod may be needed to loosen any
solid residue. Use it only when valve is fully open.

3. Wipe crumbs from splashdeck while fryer is empty. Plug
the motor into the outlet.

NOTE: On units with more than one fryer or a separate cabinet
for the filter system, you must open the return valve handle
(small black knob next to drain handle) by pulling it forward. This
will allow the oil to pump into the correct fryer.

4. On the filter panel, turn the pump switch to the “ON” position.
The green light will illuminate. Refer to Figure 5.

NOTE: If oil does not return to fryer, check the following:

1. Filter tub setup (See Fig. 1)

2. Tub to motor connection (See Fig. 2)

3. Figure 4 (Water may have clogged the paper)

4. Return valve for units with more than one fryer or

separate filter cabinet is not opened.

5. Let the pump run with drain valve open to remove crumbs
and residue from the bottom of fryer and the drain lines.
