CLEANING

CAUTION: Do not spray with hose or steam cleaner. Doing so will cause extensive damage (not
covered under warranty).
Daily
Clean your fryer regularly. If regular cleaning is neglected, grease will be burned on and discolorations
may form. These may be removed by washing with detergent or soap and water. Particularly stubborn
discolorations may be removed with a self-soaping scouring pad or a paste made of water and a mild
scouring powder applied with a plastic open pad or sponge. Do not use standard steel wool on stainless
steel finishes. Pieces of the steel wool will adhere to the stainless steel and cause rusting.
Always rub in the direction of the polish lines on the stainless steel front to preserve the original finish.
Keeping the fryer exterior clean and free of accumulated grease will prevent stubborn stains from
forming. Wash all exterior surfaces at least once daily. Use a cloth with warm water and a mild soap
or detergent. Follow with a clear rinse, then dry.
Weekly or as Required
1. Drain and strain frying compound into a clean container and refrigerate if necessary.
2. Close drain valve and fill tank with hot water. Add a good grade of non-corrosive, grease-
dissolving commercial cleaner.
3. Set thermostat to 300°F (148°C) and bring to a boil. Boil long enough to loosen all "varnish" and
"carbon" (15-20 minutes). If necessary, scrub inside of the tank with a long-handled pot brush. Do
not leave fryer unattended.
4. Drain cleaning solution from the fry tank slowly so you can clean side walls as exposed.
5. Open the drain valve completely and thoroughly rinse tank with clean water. Be sure to remove
all traces of cleaner.
6. Close drain valve and refill tank with clean hot (minimum 140°F [60°C]) water. Add 1 cup
(226.8 g) of vinegar to neutralize alkaline left by the cleaner. Bring solution to a boil and allow it
to stand for a few minutes.
7. Drain tank and rinse thoroughly with clear hot water. All traces of cleaner must be removed; it can
affect the food taste. Thoroughly dry fry tank.
8. Close the drain valve.
9. Add liquid frying compound to the proper level.
Cleaning Stainless Steel
Stainless steel may be cleaned with ordinary soap or detergent and water. To prevent water spots and
streaks, rinse equipment thoroughly with warm water and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth. The addition
of a rinsing agent will also help prevent spotting.
