4.4 MONTHLY CHECKS AND SERVICE
4.4.1 Deep Cleaning (Boiling Out/Cold Clean) the Frypot – Minimally Monthly
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with water
or oil before lighting the burners. Failure to do so will damage the frypot and may cause
a fire.
During normal usage of your fryer, a deposit of carbonized oil will gradually form on the inside of
the frypot. This film should be periodically removed by following the Clean (boil-out) procedure.
Refer to sections 2.1.9 of the FQ4000 FQ120 easyTouch Controller Operation Manual) for specific details
on setting up the controller for the CLEAN (boil-out) operation.
Allow oil to cool to 100ºF (38ºC) or lower before draining to an appropriate container for
disposal.
Never leave the fryer unattended during this process. If the solution overflows, press
the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position immediately.
Ensure that the frypot is completely free of water before filling with oil. When the oil is
heated to cooking temperature, water in the frypot will cause splattering.

The pre-filter requires regular maintenance. Every 30 days, or
more frequently if the flow of oil slows, remove the cap and clean
the attached screen.
