DANGER
NEVER attempt to clear a clogged drain valve from the front of the valve! Hot oil will
rush out creating the potential for severe burns.
DO NOT hammer on the drain valve with the cleanout rod or other objects. Damage
to the ball inside will result in leaks and will void the Frymaster warranty.
4. After draining the oil, clean all food particles and residual oil from the frypot. BE CAREFUL,
this material may still cause severe burns if it comes in contact with bare skin.
5. Close the drain valve securely and fill the frypot with clean, filtered or fresh cooking oil or solid
shortening to the bottom OIL-LEVEL line.
DANGER
When using solid shortening, pack the shortening down into the bottom of the
frypot. DO NOT operate the fryer with a solid block of shortening sitting in the upper
portion of the frypot. This will cause damage to the frypot and may cause a flash
fire.
4.2 Preparing the Built-In Filtration System for Use
The FootPrint Pro filtration system allows the oil in one frypot to be safely and efficiently filtered
while the other frypots in a battery remain in operation. The FootPrint Pro filtration system is
available in three different configurations:
• Filter Paper – includes crumb tray, large hold-down ring, and metal filter screen.
• Filter Pad – includes crumb tray, small hold-down ring, and metal filter screen.
• Magnasol Filter – includes crumb tray and Magnasol filter assembly.
Section 4.2.1 covers preparation of the Filter Paper and Filter Pad configurations for use. Refer to
Section 4.2.2 for instructions on preparing the Magnasol Filter configuration for use. Operation of
all three configurations is the same and is covered in section 4.3. Disassembly and reassembly of the
Magnasol filter is covered in section 4.4.
