Boiling Out The Frypot - Frymaster FPRE314 Installation & Operation Manual

5.1.3 Clean the Frypot and Heating Elements- Weekly
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled to the fill
line with water, oil or shortening before energizing the elements. Failure to do so
will result in irreparable damage to the elements and may cause a fire.
5.1.4

Boiling Out the Frypot

Before the fryer is first used, it should be boiled out to ensure that residue from the manufacturing
process has been eliminated. Also, after the fryer has been in use for a period of time, a hard film of
caramelized oil will form on the inside of the frypot. This film should be periodically removed by
following the boil out procedure that follows.
1. Before switching the fryer(s) ON, close the frypot drain valve(s), then fill the empty frypot with
a mixture of cold water and detergent. Follow instructions on detergent container when mixing.
2. Press the fryer ON/OFF switch to the ON position. On fryers equipped with solid state (analog)
controllers, set the melt switch to OFF.
3. For fryers equipped with Computer Magic III.5 computers, program the computer for boil-out as
described in the separate Frymaster Fryer Controllers User's Manual.
For fryers with digital controllers, set the temperature to 195°F (91°C) as described in the
separate Frymaster Fryer Controllers User's Manual.
For fryers with solid state (analog) controllers, set the temperature control knob to the lowest
setting.
4. Simmer the solution for 45 minutes to one hour. Do not allow the water level to drop below the
bottom oil-level line in the frypot during the boil-out operation. NOTE: For units with
thermostat controllers, you must turn the fryer on and off periodically during this process to
prevent the frypot from boiling over.
Never leave the fryer unattended during the boil-out process. If the boil-out solution
boils over, turn the fryer off immediately and let the solution cool for a few minutes
before resuming the process.
5. Turn the fryer ON/OFF switch(s) to the OFF position.
6. Add two gallons (7.6 liters) of water. Drain out the solution and clean the frypot(s) thoroughly.
Do not drain boil-out solution into a shortening disposal unit (SDU), a built-in
filtration unit, or a portable filter unit. These units are not intended for this purpose,
and will be damaged by the solution.
