4.3.1 Cleaning

Before cleaning, turn off the appliance and shut off gas supply upstream of it.
Wait until the deep fat fryer has cooled down before you start cleaning it.
Drain all oil from the tank, see chapter "Emptying the tank" further above.
General information
The main causes for stainless steel wear or corrosion are:
• using abrasive or acid detergents, especially chlorine-based products such as hy-
drochloric acid or sodium hypochlorite (bleach). Therefore, before buying a clean-
ing product, make sure it does not corrode stainless steel (see also paragraph
"Routine cleaning" below);
• stagnation of ferrous deposits (such as those created by rust dissolved in the water
flowing through the piping, especially after the appliance has remained idle for
some time). Therefore, avoid such stagnation. Do not use wire wool pads to re-
move the most stubborn food residues. Use, rather, pads or spatulas made of stain-
less steel or softer, non-ferrous materials;
• stagnation of substances having acid components such as vinegar, lemon juice,
sauces, salt, etc. Avoid prolonged contact of the stainless steel parts of the appli-
ance with those substances. The evaporation of saline solutions over the surfaces
of the appliance is particularly harmful to them.
Routine cleaning
Cleaning the appliance thoroughly on a daily basis is the key to keep it in perfect working
condition and prolonging its life. Clean the appliance with a damp cloth using water and
soap or detergents, provided that they are not acid or abrasive as discussed further above.
Such detergents should not even be used to wash the floor near the appliance, as their
fumes may deposit on the steel surfaces and damage them. If the deep fat fryer is very
TM
dirty, use a Scotch-Brite
wipe it dry with a clean cloth. Do not rub the appliance with steel wool pads as they could
leave rust stains. For the same reason, avoid touching the appliance with ferrous objects.
In order to prevent corrosion spots from forming, ensure that any salt residues are care-
fully removed from the tank's sides and bottom.
Never use direct water jets to clean the appliance because this could result in water enter-
ing into it and damaging it.
Stains and abrasions on the steel surface
Scratches and dark stains may be smoothed or removed using stainless steel wool pads or
synthetic abrasive sponges, which should always be rubbed in the same direction as the
satin finish.
type synthetic scrub sponge. Rinse it off with clean water and
