Preface The EZ Melt, Fill and Filter models EZ18, EZ24, and EZ34 are designed to be used with Belshaw fryers. It performs four functions: It melts shortening It holds shortening It supplies shortening to the fryer kettle It filters used shortening for re-use Make sure the EZ Melt kettle has enough room in it before draining shortening from the fryer. If you do not, shortening may overflow the kettle and get on the floor, possibly causing slips, falls, injury, burns, or even death.

Thoroughly clean your EZ Melt before using it. Refer to Section 3, “Cleaning,” for cleaning instructions. WARNING Moisture causes hot shortening to spatter, which may cause serious injury. Thoroughly dry the kettle and any other parts you wash. WARNING To avoid electrocuting yourself or damaging the EZ Melt, never allow water, steam, cleaning solution, or other liquid to enter the heater head. Make sure that the power requirements of the EZ Melt, shown on the data plate, match your power source.
2 Operation Melting and Filling 1. Completely cover the heating element with shortening. There are two ways to do this: Pre-melt some shortening in a pan on the stove and pour it into the kettle to cover the element. Pack solid shortening tightly around the heating element and bulbs. Do not leave any air spaces. Cover the heating element at least 2”/5 cm. (See Figure 2-1) Figure 2-2. Cube Melter WARNING Air spaces can cause the shortening to overheat and catch on fire. 2.
5. Make sure that the HEAT and PUMP switches are in the OFF position. Connect the EZ Melt to the power source. To avoid damaging the heating element, make sure it is completely covered with shortening before you turn the heater on. 6. Turn the machine on using the HEAT switch. When the heat is on, the heating element melts shortening at 200 F/93 C. The heat must also be on to operate the pump. 7. Turn the pump on using the PUMP switch. 8.
4. Filtering 1. Turn the fryer off. Allow the shortening to cool to 130 F/54 C. WARNING Hot shortening may cause serious injury. 2. Turn the EZ Melt off. Make sure that both the HEAT and PUMP switches are in the OFF position. 3. Make sure that the top of the cube melter is exposed. Position the shortening filter assembly on the EZ Melt kettle. The edge of the kettle has one or two sets of holes in it. Use the set of holes that is farther from the heater head.
WARNING Thoroughly clean and dry the floor if shortening, water, or other materials are spilled. Materials spilled on the floor may cause serious injury and loss of life. 11. After you have rinsed all the loose particles out of the fryer kettle, release the foot pedal. 12. After the shortening has drained out of the fryer kettle and through the EZ Melt filter, close the drain valve. 13. Turn the EZ Melt off. Make sure that both the HEAT and PUMP switches are in the OFF position. Figure 2-8. Rinsing Hose.
WARNING Rinsing the filter could cause water to drop into the kettle. Hot shortening could spatter and cause serious injury. d. Put the filter assembly back on the EZ Melt. To order replacement filters for your EZ Melt, call Belshaw. Belshaw Bros., Inc. 1750 22nd Ave. S.
Cleaning 3 Clean the EZ Melt after every use. Follow these steps: 1. Turn on the heat and the pump. 2. Press the foot pedal to pump shortening out of the EZ Melt and into a metal container or fryer kettle. 3. When you cannot pump any more shortening out of the EZ Melt, release the foot pedal. Turn off the heat and the pump. 4. Disconnect the EZ Melt from the power source. 5. Allow the shortening in the EZ Melt kettle to cool to 115 F/46 C.
WARNING Do not touch the heating element! It is very hot and will burn you. 11. Remove the kettle from the frame. You must remove it from the rear. 12. Pour any shortening remaining in the kettle into a metal container. If it is too heavy or awkward for you to lift by yourself, get someone to help you. WARNING Thoroughly clean and dry the floor if shortening, water, or other materials are spilled. Materials spilled on the floor may cause serious injury and loss of life. 13.

THE SHORTENING DOES NOT FLOW FREELY THROUGH THE FILTER SYSTEM Possible Causes What To Do The hose is crimped. Straighten the hose. WARNING To avoid being burned, before doing any of the following, turn off the EZ Melt and allow the shortening to cool. The hose is clogged with shortening. Soak the hose in warm water to help release the clogged shortening. Hang it up and let it dry before you use it again. The drain tube is clogged with solid shortening.
