Changing the Filter Pad

In order to assure good oil pumping performance, the filter pad (or paper) should be changed at least once per day. However, in stores open 24 hours a day, the pad should be changed twice a day.

If the filter pad has not been changed, a reminder shows on the display, “CHANGE PAD”. Press the Confirm button to cancel the message, but it reappears every 4 minutes until the filter pad has been changed.

Burn Risk

To avoid burns, use PPE when handling filter pan or filter pan lid.

  1. Ensure the main power switch is in the ON position.

    NOTICE -

    Thoroughly dry all filter pan components before assembly.

  9. Reassemble in reverse order, placing the bottom screen into the filter pan first, followed by the filter pad, retaining ring and the crumb catcher.

    NOTICE -

    During installation and reassembly be sure to apply oil to all O-rings to lubricate and to help prevent tears and oil loss.

    Every 90 days inspect O-rings and replace if damaged.

    Use a small screw driver to gently pry O-rings from their groove to inspect for damage. Reinstall by gently rolling into place.
