Front Bulk Disposal

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 in to an approved bulk oil disposal storage container or approved grease trap. Never pour oil down a public sanitation drain.
