1.5.4 INITIAL CLEANING
When the fryer is shipped, many of its parts are covered with a thin coat of oil for protection. Before
the fryer is ready for cooking it must be cleaned. This will remove the oil coating and any foreign
matter that may have !.~JII!ulated during storage and shipment. Perform the cleaning as described
below.
a.
Fill the tank with water and add one packet of Pita> fryer cleaner or a mild detergent.
b. Turn the fryer on and set the thermostat to 200~. Allow the fryer to heat for 15 minutes.
NonCE
Do not leave the fryer unattended during cleaning. Never let the water level
go below the "OIL LEVEL" mark on the back of the tank.
Using the fryer cleaning brush, scrub the inside of the fryer to remove protective coating.
When cleaning is complete, turn off the fryer main burners and turn gas valve knob to the
PILOT position. If the fryer has electronic ignition turn the gas control valve to the OFF
position. Drain the water into a container suitable for hot water and dispose of it.
When the tank has oooled, rinse it thoroughly with 0001 water. Continue to rinse the tank
until the cleaner has been rinsed, thoroughly from the tank.
Using a clean dry cloth, wipe out all of the water. Be very thorough removing the water,
because any residual water will cause hot oil to splatter out of the fryer.
CAImaN
Mild steel tanks must be wiped down/coated with oil to keep the tank from
rusting.
Now that the tank is clean, you are ready to fill and operate the fryer. Refer to 2.1 for
