WARNING 
 
 
FILTERING 
1. Before filtering the shortening in a fryer, turn the thermostat knob to “OFF” or the Gas Valve to “PI-

2. Open the drain valve (black handle) on the fryer to be filtered, letting all the shortening drain into the 
filter  tank.  Leave this valve open.

during fry tank cleaning (Step 3) before closing drain valve (Step 4).  If added to filter tank, the 
powder will be removed when the filter envelope is changed and the filter tank is cleaned.

 SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 
SOLUTION 
1.  Make sure the power cord is plugged into the receptacle in the cabinet and the 
main power cord from the system is plugged into the appropriate power supply. 
2.  Turn the switch on the side of the filter to “ON”. 
3.  Close the return line valve (yellow handle) and try opening the return line valve 
on another fryer.  If the pump starts, the problem is with the micro switch that
