FLUSH / RINSE & DISCARD OIL

1.  Follow filtering instructions 1-3.
   Drain the fryer oil into the filter pan.

2.  Attach the quick disconnect hose to the discard male quick disconnect fitting.
   warning
   Oil will immediately exit out of the nozzle end of the hose any time the hose is plugged in and the filter pump is engaged.

3. To discard the oil, place the nozzle end of the discard hose into a container that is large enough to retain the discarded shortening. Press the discard switch behind the door to the bottom “ONLY USE HOSE TO DISCARD” position. This will allow all of the oil to be pumped through the hose only.

4.  For flushing/rinsing the tank with filtered oil to remove the particulates that have accumulated, press the discard switch behind the door to the top “USE HOSE TO RINSE & FILL” position. This will allow the oil to pass through the hose and come in from under the tank at the same time.

5. With the power switch still ON, press and hold FILTER for at least 3 seconds. The motor/pump will begin to operate.

6. Once the oil has been discarded completely and the filter pan is empty, press FILTER to turn off the motor/ pump.

7. Disconnect the discard hose. Be careful
   to let the hose drain before putting away. Close the drain valve and fill the fry tank with new oil.
   The hose connection will be hot due to the temperature of the oil that was discarded and can cause burns.

Warning

• Hot oil and parts can cause burns. Use care when operating, cleaning and servicing the fryer. Do not leave unattended.
• Spilling hot frying compound can cause severe burns. Do not move the fryer without first draining all frying compound from tank.
