FILTERQUICK™ FQE30 SERIES ELECTRIC FRYER
CHAPTER 5: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
5.1

Cleaning the Fryer

The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a
fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles
can spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.
Never attempt to clean the fryer during the frying process or when the frypot is filled
with hot oil. If water comes in contact with oil heated to frying temperature, it will
cause spattering of the oil, which can result in severe burns to nearby personnel.
Use a commercial-grade cleaner formulated to effectively clean and sanitize
food-contact surfaces. Read the directions for use and precautionary statements
before use. Particular attention must be paid to the concentration of cleaner and the
length of time the cleaner remains on the food-contact surfaces.
