CHANGING/FILTERING THE OIL
Warning
After filtering, wait 30 seconds before removing bucket.
When draining, ensure the oil has time to strain through
strainer basket. Heavily unfiltered oil may overflow.
Note
This could cause pump to block over a period of time and
is considered as misuse of equipment.
Warning
If oil is not emptied on a regular basis or if it is left in
receptacle, oil may solidify and overflow or spill upon
kitchen floor to create a hazard.

debris. Refer to Section 8 for details of how to clean
