pORTABLE AND BUiLT-iN FiLTERiNG SYSTEmS
Many fryer manufacturers offer portable filtering units which make it safer, faster and more convenient to filter your shortening regularly .
Fryer manufacturers offer detailed instructions that explain the proper usage and cleaning procedures .
when melting a solid shortening in a portable unit:
1. Clean filter tub and remove all accessories .
2. Place a solid cube of shortening in the filter tub .
3. Turn shortening melter on .
4. Do not allow shortening to solidify in filter as it will also solidify in the pipes .
5. Do not turn shortening melter on without shortening in the filter tub .
If you experience filter pump failure, the shortening may have solidified and plugged up the pipes . If this occurs, turn on the shortening melt- er for 20 minutes . This will heat the filter tub and pipes to free the sys- tem of solidified shortening . Always reset motor before attempting filter- ing . Built- in filtering units may also clog up with solidified shortening . Manufacturers offer heating coils which go around the pipes inside the fryer to keep the shortening in a liquid form .
