4-1 

4.1   Filter Operation 

 
 

 WARNING 

Use care when draining and filtering oil to avoid the possibility of a serious burn. 

 
1.

 

Sprinkle 8 ounces (1 cup) of filter powder over the filter paper, distributing the powder as evenly 
as possible.  If filtering a second frypot immediately after the first, add only 4 ounces of filter 
powder for the second filtering. 

 
2.

 

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into the receptacle on the back of the portable filter.  
Plug the power cord into an 230V outlet. 

 
3.

 

If solid shortening is filtered through the portable filter, turn the Heater/Filter switch to 

 (see 

illustration below).  The white indicator light will illuminate.  Leave the heater on for 20-30 
minutes before operating the filter. 

 

 

 

 
 

Note:  The filter pump cannot be activated while the switch is in the "Heater" position. 

 
4.

 

Ensure the pump switch is OFF 

(O).  

Turn the Heater/Filter switch to 

for filter operation 

(see illustration below).  The red indicator light will illuminate. 

 

 

 

Use the filter heater for 20-30 minutes prior to filtering if solid shortening is filtered. 

The Heater/Filter switch must be in the FILTER 

position before the filter pump can 

be operated.  The red light will illuminate when the switch is properly positioned.
