Front Disposal

IMPORTANT: Front bulk disposal is recommended for Quantum fryers.

This section explains the bulk oil process for draining and disposing of oil. Once the oil has degraded, the vat is drained completely and refilled with new oil. The degraded oil is pumped in to a bulk oil storage container using menu commands from the fryer's control board.

NOTICE -

To protect community sewer lines, oil must be trapped and disposed of through bulk removal. Hot oil can coagulate when cooled, which clogs pipes and sewer lines. Always dispose of oil into an approved bulk oil disposal storage container or approved grease trap. Never pour oil down a public sanitation drain.

Accessing the Dispose Menu

Use the following steps to access the disposal menu. An indicator light displays next to active options during procedure.

  1. Press and hold the P button until *MAIN* displays. The Main menu displays.

  2. Press the 1. FILTER button. Additional menu items display.

  3. Press the Main menu button twice. The dispose menu displays.

Draining the Oil

Drain the oil from the vat by doing the following:

  1. Press the 7. DISPOSE button. The message DRAIN POT? and YES NO displays.

  2. Press the YES button. DRAINING displays.

  3. Wait. The oil from the vat drains in to the filter pan. Press the Checkmark when the vat is drained. When complete, the message =PURGE= Pump new oil push old oil from ports displays.

Purging the Oil Lines

Degraded oil remains inside the lines, valves and fittings. To completely purge the degraded oil, do the following:

  1. Press and hold the PUMP button until clean, new oil is pumped into the vat.

  2. If necessary, press the PUMP button again to ensure the lines, valves and fittings are purged.

Wiping Out the Vat

To ensure degraded oil does not mix with new oil, do the following:

  1. Put on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

  2. Use a cloth or paper towel to wipe the remaining oil down the vat drain and clean the vat surface.

  3. When done, press the NEXT button. The message FRONT HOSE CONNECTED/FRONT DISPOSE flashes.

Front Disposal of the Oil - Only

To pump the degraded oil from the filter pan to the bulk oil storage container, do the following:

  1. Press the PUMP button.

  2. Wait. The pump begins siphoning the oil out of the filter pan.

  3. When the filter pan is emptied of oil, or the bulk oil storage container is full, release the PUMP button.

    WARNING! Do not overfill the oil disposal shuttle. Hot oil overflowing onto the floor may cause severe burns and / or a fall risk.

    NOTE: Depending on the size of the bulk oil disposal container, this procedure may need to be performed several times to fully drain the vat. Release the PUMP button at any time to stop pumping.
