There are no periodic preventive maintenance checks and services required for your filtration
system other than:
1. Daily perform a clean and filter of each frypot (see Clean and Filter procedure instructions in
the FQ4000 easyTouch FQ80/100/120 Chicken Controller manual).
2. Daily cleaning of the filter pan with a solution of hot water and a multi-purpose detergent.
If you notice that the system is pumping slowly or not at all, verify that the filter pan screen is on
the bottom of the filter pan, with the paper or pad on top of the screen. Verify that the two O-
ring(s) on the fitting at the right front of the filter pan are present and in good condition. Verify that
the pre-filter is clean and tightened with the wrench.
4.2.4 Clean Filter Pan, Detachable Parts and Accessories - Daily
As with the frypot, a deposit of carbonized oil will accumulate on the filter pan and detachable
parts and accessories such as baskets, sediment trays, or fishplates.
Wipe the filter pan and all detachable parts and accessories with a clean dry cloth. Use a cloth
dampened with a solution of a multi-purpose detergent. To remove accumulated carbonized oil.
Rinse and thoroughly dry each part. DO NOT use steel wool or abrasive pads to clean these parts.
The scratches that result from such scrubbing make subsequent cleanings
more difficult.
4.2.5 Clean around AIF and ATO sensors – Daily
1. Clean the sediment from around the AIF and ATO sensors during clean
and filter when the oil is drained from the frypot.
2. Use a screwdriver or other similar object which allows access around
the probe (see Figure 1). Use caution to ensure that the probe is not
damaged.
3. Return the oil once the clean and filter is complete.
4.2.6 Clean Basket Lift Rods - Daily
On fryers equipped with basket lifts, wipe down the rods with dry, clean cloth to remove accumula-
tions of oil and dust.
