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. 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 to 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.

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