DECATHLON SERIES GAS FRYERSCHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES1-381.8.5 Improper Filtration Function (cont.)Incorrectly sized or installed paper will allow food particles and sediment to pass through and clogthe suction tube on the bottom of the filter carriage. Particles large enough to block the suction tubemay indicate that the crumb tray is not being used.Pan blockage can also occur if shortening is left in the pan and allowed to solidify. Heater strips (ifequipped) on the oil return plumbing are designed to prevent solidification of shortening left in theplumbing. Heater strips will not melt or prevent solidification of shortening in the pan.Remove blockage by forcing it out with an auger or drain snake. DO NOT use compressed air orother pressurized gases to force out the blockage.The SUFF/UFF filtration systems use microswitches attached to handles for each vat. They arewired in parallel and provide the 24 VAC required to activate the pump relay coil when the handlesare moved to the ON position. The activated pump relay coil pulls the pump motor switch in,supplying power to the pump motor.Filter systems equipped with oil-return heaters are wired into the 120 VAC source, and remainenergized as long as the unit is plugged in.1.8.6 Frypot LeakageFrypot leaks are almost always due to improperly sealed high-limit, thermostats/temperature probeand drain fittings. When installed or replaced, each of these components must be sealed with LoctitePST567 sealant or equivalent to prevent leakage. In very rare cases, a leak may develop along oneof the welded edges of the frypot, or where the tube is welded to the frypot. When this occurs, thefrypot must be replaced.If the sides or ends of the frypot are coated with oil, the most likely cause is spillage over the top ofthe frypot rather than leakage.Frypot locations (indicated byarrows) where potential leaks couldoccur.PDF compression, OCR, web optimization using a watermarked evaluation copy of CVISION PDFCompressor
