6. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective oil filtration:

1. Prepare the Fryer: Turn off the deep fryer and allow the oil to cool to a safe filtering temperature (typically between 250°F - 350°F / 120°C - 175°C). Hotter oil filters faster, but extreme temperatures are dangerous.
2. Position the Filter: Roll the VEVOR oil filter unit close to the deep fryer. Ensure the unit is stable and the casters are locked.
3. Drain Oil: Carefully drain the hot oil from the deep fryer into the VEVOR filter unit's tank. Ensure the oil flows through the installed filter layers. Do not overfill the tank.
4. Connect Hose: Attach the oil return hose to the deep fryer's oil return port (if applicable) or position it to return filtered oil directly into the fryer.
5. Start Filtration: Turn on the VEVOR oil filter unit. The pump will begin to draw oil from the tank, through the filtration system, and return it via the hose.
6. Monitor Process: Observe the filtration process. Ensure there are no leaks and the oil is flowing smoothly. The filtration speed is approximately 10 L/min.
7. Complete Filtration: Once all oil has been filtered and returned to the fryer, turn off the VEVOR unit.
8. Disconnect and Store: Disconnect the power and carefully remove the hose. Clean the unit as described in the Maintenance section. Store the unit in a clean, dry place.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your VEVOR oil filter:

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, allow the unit to cool. Remove and discard the used filter paper. Clean the initial filter screen and double-layer filter screen with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reassembly.
• Tank Cleaning: Wipe down the interior and exterior of the stainless steel tank with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn oil residue, use a food-safe degreaser. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Hose Cleaning: Flush the oil transfer hose with warm, soapy water to remove any oil residue. Ensure it is completely dry before storage to prevent bacterial growth.
• Caster Inspection: Periodically check the casters for smooth operation and clean any debris that may hinder movement.
• Filter Paper Replacement: Always use new filter paper for each filtration cycle to maintain high filtration efficiency.
