Filter Pan Assembly

Burn Risk

To avoid burns, follow on-screen prompts for Express Filter and Daily Filter.

Failure to follow the Express Filter and Daily Filter procedures may cause the accumulation of crumbs and debris at the bottom of the fry vat, which may cause oil to spray out of the fryer.

Slipping Hazard

To avoid personal injury, do not exceed filter pan capacity (1 vat or 2 split vats).To avoid overfilling the filter pan, drain only 1 vat at a time. Make sure the floor area around equipment is completely clean and dry to avoid slip risks.

The filter pan removes crumb accumulation and impurities from the oil during filtration. Throughout the day if filtration slows, it may be necessary to empty the crumb basket and to scrape smaller crumbs from the filter. At shutdown, remove and clean the filter pan assembly to ensure the drain pan is clean for the next day. Typically this would be done after the daily filter is completed on all vats. Filter pan shutdown steps are as follows:

Filter pan maintenance throughout the day

Filter pan maintenance may need to be performed periodically throughout the day if oil starts to pump slowly during express filters. Perform the following maintenance steps to increase oil flow during filtration:

  1. Remove the filter pan by pulling (sliding) it out from under the fryer. The male and female connection separates.

  2. Remove the filter pan lid and the crumb basket. Discard the crumbs in the crumb basket.

  3. Using a pot scraper or spatula, gently scrape finer crumbs off of the top of the filter and discard.

  4. Replace the crumb basket and the filter pan lid.

  5. Reinstall the filter pan under the fryer and close the door.

Note: Ensure the filter pan connection is firmly seated.

  1. Remove the filter pan by pulling (sliding) it out from under the fryer. The male and female connection separates.

  2. Remove the O-rings from the connector, inspect and replace as needed.

    Refer to O-ring Replacement.

  3. Disassemble the filter pan, empty the crumb basket and discard the filter.

  4. Wash and dry all components of the filter pan.

  5. Reassemble the filter pan in the following order:

    1. Place the filter screen (5) in the drain pan base (4).

    2. Place filter paper (3) on top of the filter screen (5).

    3. Place drain pan weight (6) on top of the filter paper (3).

    4. Place crumb catcher (2) on top of the drain pan weight (6)..

    5. Place drain pan lid (1) on top of the drain pan base (4).
