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
It is not designed to perform any other functions.
The EZ Melt, Fill and Filter uses electrical
elements to melt shortening.
The EZ Melt moves around on casters. It is
meant to be used on the floor. The operator of
the EZ Melt is expected to behave safely and to
read this manual and follow its instructions and
warnings.
Study the instructions and warnings in this
manual carefully. A thorough understanding of
how to install, maintain, and safely operate the
EZ Melt, Fill and Filter will prevent production
delays and injuries.
To use the EZ Melt safely, heed the following
warnings and all other warnings that appear in
this manual:
• Make sure all hose connections are tight.
If you do not, you may be sprayed with
hot shortening. This could result in
serious burns.
• Make sure no water gets into the
shortening. Water causes hot shortening
to spatter, which could cause serious
burns.
• 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.
• Hot shortening can cause serious burns.
Make sure that proper protective gear
(face shield, gloves and apron) are worn
before filtering, disassembly and
cleaning.
• Make sure the nozzle of the supply hose
is securely mounted on the side of the
fryer before turning on the pump. If you
do not, hot shortening could spray you,
resulting in serious burns. Also,
shortening could get on the floor,
possibly causing slips, falls, injury,
burns, or even death.
• Make sure that the system and the
shortening are cool before attempting
any adjustments or repairs. If you do
not, you may be burned.
• Be careful never to get shortening,
water, or other materials on the floor. If
anything does get spilled on the floor,
mop it up immediately. If you do not,
someone could slip or fall, be burned or
injured, or even die.
• To avoid damaging the EZ Melt, never
use force to assemble, disassemble,
operate, clean, or maintain it.
• To avoid electrocution, make sure that
the power cord is not frayed or cracked
and that it does not pass through any
water or shortening.
• Make sure that the power cord is routed
so that no one will trip over it.
