30A168A. FILTERING SHORTENING1. Turn the TOGGLE ON / OFF SWITCH to the fryer OFF, turn the MANUAL GAS VALVE OFF, and ensure the filtertub is properly docked beneath the drain valve.NOTE: Pull on the filter tub Handle to ASSURE the male docking plug is SEATED in the female bulkhead socket.2. Place the amount of FILTER AGENT into the fryer vat as prescribed in the cleaning manual provided by your chemicalsupplier; thoroughly stir the filter agent into the shortening using a skimmer; then skim the shortening to remove anyfloating crumbs.CAUTION: PRIOR TO PROCEEDING TO THE NEXT STEP, PUT ON SAFETY GOGGLES, NEOPRENE INSULATED GLOVESAND AN APRON.3. Carefully attach the drain valve handle to the drain valve; then open the drain valve by turning the DRAIN VALVEHANDLE slightly downward. When the bottom of the filter tub is covered with about two (2) inches of shortening,completely OPEN the drain valve, and while shortening is draining, scrape all sides of the vat to remove encrustedmaterial using the scraper.4. When all shortening has drained into the filter tub, use the DRAIN ROD to stand the wire rack on one side of the vat.5. Use the drain rod to pull the sediment on the bottom of the vat towards the valve opening, then use the rod to push sedi-ment through the valve opening.CAUTION: DO NOT ACTIVATE (TURN) THE VAT SHORTENING RETURN LEVER AND TOPSIDE SHORTENING LEVER ATTHE SAME TIME! TO DO SO WILL REDUCE SHORTENING FLOW.6. If there is NO sediment or debris visible on the heat exchanger or bottom of the vat, CLOSE the drain valve; thenturn the LEFT HAND Vat Shortening Return Lever 1⁄4 turn counter clock wise to automatically return shortening inthe filter tub through the SWEEP NOZZLE in the bottom of the vat. When all shortening has been returned to thevat, turn the LEFT HAND Vat Shortening Return Lever 1⁄4 turn clockwise to stop the flow of shortening; then pro-ceed to page 41.7. If there is considerable sediment and debris on the bottom of the vat, FLUSH this sediment from vat using the WashDown Hose or OPTIONAL Automatic Vat Cleaner (AVC) also referred to as SPRAY BLASTER, as described below.a. Fryer WITHOUT an Automatic Vat Cleaner (AVC) 1) Leave the drain valve in the OPEN position, CAREFULLY connect the Wash Down Hose Male In-Line Plug to theTOPSIDE FEMALE SOCKET; then place the Wash Down Hose nozzle into vat and hold it firmly against an innerwall so it will not recoil upward when the pump comes on.2) Turn the RIGHT HAND Topside Shortening Return Lever 1⁄4 turn counter clock wise and hold the hose nozzle ata 45˚ angle from the bottom of the vat causing sediment and debris to bounce off the rear wall and flow towardsthe drain valve.��� ���������������� ����������� �������������� ���������������� ����������� ���������� ������������������� ������Page 36 of 56
