Clean Filter Pan, Detachable Parts And Accessories Daily; Weekly Checks And Service; Drain And Clean Frypot; Boiling Out The Frypot - Frymaster OCF30 Series Installation & Operation Manual

There are no periodic preventive maintenance checks and services required for your FootPrint Pro
Filtration System other than daily cleaning of the filter pan with a solution of hot water and
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 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.

5.2.4 Clean Filter Pan, Detachable Parts and Accessories Daily

Carbonized oil will accumulate on the filter pan and detachable parts and accessories such as
baskets, sediment trays, or fish plates.
Wipe the filter pan and all detachable parts and accessories with a clean cloth dampened with a
detergent solution (or the parts can be run through a dishwasher). 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.
WARNING
Use a commercial-grade cleaner formulated to effectively clean and sanitize food
contact surfaces. Read the directions for use and precautionary statements before
use. Particular attention must be paid to the concentration of cleaner and the
length of time the cleaner remains on the food-contact surfaces.
