3-8. CLEANING THE FRYPOT
After the initial installation of the open fryer, as well as before
every change of shortening, the frypot should be thoroughly
cleaned as follows:
1. Turn the main POWER switch off
The filter drain pan must be as far back under fryer as it
will go. Failure to follow these instructions causes
splashing of shortening and could result in personal
injury.
Moving the fryer or filter drain pan while containing
hot shortening is not recommended. Hot shortening can
splash out and severe burns could result.
Always wear chemical splash goggles or face shield and
protective rubber gloves when cleaning the frypot as the
cleaning solution is highly alkaline. Avoid splashing or
other contact of the solution with your eyes or skin.
Severe burns may result. Carefully read the instructions
on the cleaner. If the solution comes in contact with
your eyes rinse thoroughly with cool water and see a
physician immediately.
2.
If hot shortening is present in the frypot, it must be drained.
Leave for a few minutes, then slowly open the valve to full
open position.
3.
Close the drain valve. Discard the shortening .
4
Remove the filter screen assembly from the filter drain pan.
The filter union could be hot. Wear protective glove or
cloth, or severe burns could result.
5.
Fill the frypot to the level indicator with hot water. Add
4 ozs. (0.12 liters) of open fryer cleaner to the water and mix
thoroughly. The fry basket can be placed inside the frypot
for cleaning.
6.
Turn the main POWER switch to the ON position and
set temperature to 195 F (90.5 C).
7.
When the solution reaches 195 F (90.5 C), turn the main
POWER switch to the OFF position.
8.
Let the cleaning solution stand for 15 to 20 minutes with
the power off.
9.
Using the open fryer brush (never use steel wool), scrub the
inside of the frypot.
