GBF−70 Electric Fryer

5. Cleaning

This section explains cleaning and maintaining procedures for the GBF‐70 fryer that are necessary to keep it in good
operating condition.
DO NOT wash down fryer interior or exterior with water from a spray hose. Control panels
are "liquid‐resistant", but are NOT washdown safe.
Failure to comply with DANGER notices will result in serious injury, even death, damage to equipment or property damage, and could
void the factory warranty.
5.01 Removing
This section explains the procedure for removing and disposing of waste cooking oil from fryer. To maintain food
quality, oil should typically be changed every 7 to 10 days, depending on filtering practices, types and quantities of
foods regularly in the fryer. Test kits are available from most restaurant supply distributors, which can determine
oil condition to assess if it needs to be replaced. Oil
must also be removed before preforming a fryer boil­
out.
GBF‐70 fryers are optionally capable of being connected
to a customer provided Bulk Oil Management System
for bulk handling of waste oil. Please note that
procedures will differ based on your equipment's
particular configuration.
DO NOT attempt to pump cold oil. Doing so can possibly clog the filter system and damage
the unit. Oil should be heated to at least 200°F (93°C) before pumping.
1. If oil is cold, heat to at least 200°F (93°C).
2. On the unit being drained , place the HEAT switch ② in the
[OFF] position.
3. Ensure that the filter pan ③, along with filter pan cover, is
properly positioned. Confirm that the filter pan hose ④ is connected properly and
securely at the quick­coupling fitting. On banked systems, filter pan is located inside
the left‐hand unit cabinet.
During the following phase, cooking oil is drained from the vat, exposing the heating
elements. Though safety interlocks are in place, failure to have the Heat Switch in the [OFF]
position before draining could increase the risk of oil fire. ALWAYS BE SURE THAT THE HEAT SWITCH REMAINS
IN THE [OFF] POSITION THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.
• On banked systems, DO NOT drain more than one (1) vat at a time into the filter pan!
• Never disconnect and attempt to remove the filter pan from unit while it contains cooking oil.
