Gas Pressure Fryer
3. CLOSE the drain and fill the fryer pot with HOT water to the shortening level fill mark. Do not overfill by
allowing the water level higher than the fill mark.
4. Add ½ cup (4 ounces) of BKI cleaner.
5. Wash down the inside of the pot and lid with the pot brush to loosen the sediment.
6. Set the temperature of the solution as follows:
•
For an LGF or LGF-F – Position the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to ON. Set the thermostat to a
temperature of 190º F.
•
For an LGF-FC – Position the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to ON. Press PROG (program), type 1733,
and press ENTER. The fryer pot will heat to a temperature of 190º F during the CLEAN cycle to allow
the CLEAN function to be performed. NOTE: The fryer pot must be below 255º F to enter the CLEAN
mode.
7. Bring the cleaning solution to a rolling boil and maintain the boil for 5 minutes.
8. Place the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to OFF.
9. Scrub the inside of the fryer pot and inside of the lid again.
10. Before draining the cleaning solution, remove the filter bag, screen and pipe connections from the filter
vat. This must be done before draining the cleaning solution. NEVER pump water or detergent through
the filter system.
11. After 15 minutes, slowly open the drain valve. Drain the solution into the filter vat and discard.
12. Rinse the pot with hot water, using the pot brush to remove remaining sediment, drain and discard.
13. Close the drain and refill the fryer pot with hot water to the proper level.
14. Add approximately 4 to 6 ounces of distilled (white) vinegar to develop a neutralizing solution. Stir the
solution briefly. Leave in the pot for three to five minutes and discard. NOTE: Foaming of shortening
after boil-outs is caused by failure to follow proper neutralizing procedures.
15. Repeat steps 12 through 14 as needed to remove all traces of cleaning solution.
16. Rinse the pot again with Cool water, drain and discard.
Damage to the fryer could result if the fryer pot is not completely dry before filling with
shortening. Refill the fryer pot with shortening ONLY when it is completely dry.
17. Dry the fryer pot, lid, and filter vat COMPLETELY.
18. Close the main drain and fill with new shortening to the proper level.
