QUARTERLY CHECKS AND SERVICES

Drain and Clean Frypot
During normal usage of your fryer, a deposit
of carbonized cooking oil or shortening will
gradually form on the inside of the frypot.
This deposit must be periodically removed to
maintain your fryer's efficiency.
DANGER
Allow oil/shortening to cool to 100ºF
(38ºC) or lower before draining to an
appropriate container for disposal.
If your fryer is not equipped with the built-in
Filter Magic II Filtration System, the cooking
oil or shortening must be drained into another
suitable container.

1. Place the fryer power switch in the OFF
position. Screw the drainpipe (provided
with your fryer) into the drain valve.
Make sure the drainpipe is firmly screwed
into the drain valve and that the opening is
pointing down.
2. Position a metal container with a sealable
cover under the drainpipe.

The metal
our filter cone holder and filter cone be
used when a filter machine is not avail-
able. If you are using a Frymaster filter
cone holder, be sure that the cone holder
rests securely on the metal container.
3. Open the drain valve slowly to avoid
splattering. If the drain valve becomes
clogged with food particles, use the
Fryer's Friend (poker-like tool) to clear the
blockage.
DO NOT insert the tool into the drain
from the front to unclog the valve. Hot
oil/shortening will rush out, creating an
extreme hazard.
DO NOT hammer on the drain valve.
This will damage the drain valve ball
and prevent the valve from sealing
securely, resulting in a leaky valve.
4. After draining the oil/shortening, clean all
food particles and residual oil/shortening
from the frypot. BE CAREFUL, this ma-
terial may still cause severe burns if it
comes in contact with bare skin.
5. Close the drain valve securely and fill the
frypot with a solution of detergent and
water to the bottom OIL-LEVEL line.
