Fryer Flue Problems
Can Point to Hoods
A fryer's fl ue gases must rise. A clogged or
improperly maintained hood prevents that and
causes fryer problems.
Oil dripping from the hood will fall into the
fryer fl ue, frypot and,
through the upward
fl ow of heated air,
will fi nd its way onto
wiring.
Poor air fl ow caused
by improper instal-
lation leads to com-
ponents overheating.
Spark modules can
melt.
There are a number
of visual cues to inad-
equately maintained
hoods:
• Missing or over fi lled drip cups.
• Clogged weep holes in the hood fi lter.
• Excessive oil on the top and back of
the fryer.
• Fryer not
fully under the
hood.
Another contribu-
tor to hood- associ-
ated fryer problems
is the mismatching
of Cap-N-Splash
hoods and non-Cap-
N-Splash fryers.

There's a gap visible between the hood
and the fryer when a non Cap-N-Splash
fryer is in a Cap-N- Splash hood.
