Filtering

To avoid personal injury, do not move fryer or filter pan while containing hot oil. The filter pan must be as far back under fryer as it will go, and the cover in place. Be sure the hole in the cover lines up with the drain before opening the drain.

To avoid severe burns when pouring hot oil into vat, wear personal protective equipment (PPE) and take care to avoid splashing.

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.

Drain the oil at 250° F (121° C) 275° F (135° C) or less. The higher temperatures cause cracklings to burn on the steel vat surfaces after the oil has drained.

NOTICE -

To avoid equipment damage, do not clean stainless steel with abrasive tools, abrasive cleaners or corrosive chemicals.

NOTE: Best results are obtained when oil is filtered at the normal frying temperature.

  1. Turn the main switch to the OFF position.
  2. Remove and clean the fry basket in soap and water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
  3. Use a metal spatula to remove any build up from the sides of the vat.
  4. Open the door(s) under unit, and then ensure the filter drain pan is pushed as far back under fryer as it will go, and the cover is in place. Also, be sure the hole in the cover lines up with the drain before opening the drain valve.
  5. Slowly turn the drain valve handle a half turn. Leave for a few minutes, then slowly, fully open the drain valve. This prevents splashing of the hot oil as it drains.
  6. As the oil drains from the vat, use approved Henny Penny brushes to clean the sides of the vat and the burner tubes or heating elements. If the drain fills with breading, use the straight white brush to push excess breading into the filter drain pan.
  7. Pull out the pump handle, pump all of the oil out of the filter drain pan and back into the vat. When the pump is pumping air only, move the pump switch from PUMP to OFF.
  8. Check the oil level in the vat. Add fresh oil if needed. See Filling and Adding Oil.
  9. To continue cooking, move the main power switch to the ON position and oil reheats.
