Daily Filter Pan Cleaning and Preparation
The filter paper in a FilterQuick™ fryer must be replaced at least once daily. In high-volume stores, it should be replaced more often. Use Frymaster PN 8030445 16.5”x25.5" filter paper and PN 8030002 for filter powder.
Replace O-rings every 90 days. ⚙️
The filter pan must be cleaned daily, and the filter paper replaced. Follow these instructions to prepare the filter pan:
- Remove and disassemble the pan.
- Discard old filter paper. Clean thoroughly. Do NOT leave any water in the pan. ❌
Reassemble the pan in this order:
- Position the inner screen.
- Place the filter paper on the pan.
- Position the hold-down ring on the filter paper and lower into the pan.
- Ensure the paper is folded up around the hold-down ring.
