Š 

Filter shortening at least once a day.  Refer to the instructions provided 
with your filtering equipment. 

 

Š 

A cold fryer will not drain properly.  Always filter shortening between 250°F 
and 350°F.  The shortening in the cold zone area will remain hard if the heat is only 
on for a few minutes.  If necessary, use the clean-out rod to carefully stir the hard 
shortening to an area above the cold zone where it will melt.  Use the tank brush to 
help clear sides and tubes of debris.
