5.1.3 Clean the Frypot and Heating Elements – Weekly
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with
water or cooking oil before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will result in
irreparable damage to the elements and may cause a fire.
Boiling Out the Frypot
Before the fryer is first used, it should be boiled out to ensure that residue from the manufacturing
process has been eliminated. Also, after the fryer has been in use for a period of time, a hard film of
caramelized vegetable oil will form on the inside of the frypot. This film should be periodically
removed by following the boil-out procedure that follows.
1. Before switching the fryer(s) ON, close the frypot drain valve(s), then fill the empty frypot with
a mixture of cold water and dishwashing detergent. Follow instructions on detergent container
when mixing.
2. Press the fryer ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
3. Set the temperature control knob to the lowest setting.
4. Simmer the solution for 45 minutes to one hour. Do not allow the water level to drop below the
bottom oil-level line in the frypot during the boil-out operation.
Never leave the fryer unattended during the boil-out process. If the boil-out solution
boils over, turn the fryer off immediately and let the solution cool for a few minutes
before resuming the process.
5. Turn the fryer ON/OFF switch(s) to the OFF position.
6. Add two gallons of water. Drain out the solution and clean the frypot(s) thoroughly.
Do not drain boil-out solution into a shortening disposal unit, a built-in filtration unit,
or a portable filter unit. These units are not intended for this purpose, and will be
damaged by the solution.
7. Refill the frypot(s) with clean water. Rinse the frypot(s) twice, drain and dry with a clean towel.
Thoroughly remove all water from the frypot and elements before refilling the frypot with
cooking oil.
Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with cooking oil. Failure to
do so will cause spattering of hot liquid when the oil is heated to cooking
temperature.
