OPERATION

Required Protective Equipment:

! Face Shield
! Rubber Gloves
! Apron

CAUTION: Handle and Hose are Hot

CAUTION: Maximum normal operating

pressure 50PSI (35, 155 KGS/SQ Meter)

1. Remove cooking probes from fryer, if present.

10. Grasp motor assembly by handle and set it on

the edge of the tank so the union nut lines up
with standpipe. Hand tighten the union nut to the
standpipe, making sure the connection is tight.

11. Attach anti-splash tube on the filter tank by hook-

ing the tube over the rim of the tank so that the
diffuser end of the tube is closest to the safety
guard.

2. Turn on fryer and set thermostat to cooking tem­perature.

IMPORTANT: Do not turn off fryer until you are
ready to filter, this will allow shortening to remain
hot for filtering.

3. Slowly agitate the shortening in all the fryers with
the wood paddle provided. This will blend hot and
cold shortening, boil off excess moisture and bring
any debris to the surface.

CAUTION: Excessive moisture could cause
fryer to boil over. Continue agitation to all
boiling ceases.

4. Skim off any debris from the shortening surface (use
a Prince Castle Fry Vat Skimmer).

12. Hand tighten hose to the pump union nut, making
sure the connection is tight.

IMPORTANT: This hose is flexible, however, excessive
bending can crease or crack the hose causing hot oil
to leak. Do not use a cracked hose.

IMPORTANT: Failure to skim the fryer thoroughly could
cause excess food particles to clog the drain valve or
the filter machine pump.

5. Roll assembled filter machine to fryer and plug
power cord into wall outlet. Turn off fryer and
engage locking casters.

IMPORTANT: Do not pull filter machine by hose
assembly or power cord.
