Improved filter system for a deep fat fryer

摘要

Improved features for a filter system for a deep fat fryer (121) are described. The fryer includes a movable filter pan (18) disposed below the cooking tank (123) which is fed by gravity when the tank is drained through a downspout (10). The downspout is curved and rotatable from a down position when it is in use/storage to an up position when it is not in use and a stabilizing clip (14) is mounted on the downspout to secure a separate polishing tube (16) when it is in the down or horizontal position to allow one handle (12) to lift two pipes at the same time for removal of the filter pan. An inline removable filter (24) is provided in the oil return line (20), and the return line is slidably supported on the side of the filter pan so that it can rise and fall with the debris in the filter pan. <IMAGE>
