OPERATION
NOTE: Perform an initial Boil-Out to clean and
sanitize the fryer before operating.
Carbonized deposits along with an accumulation of oil
will eventually build-up on the interior of the frypot as
well as fryer accessories. It is important to periodically
remove these deposits, not only to maintain fryer
efciency,butalsotoprovidethehighestproductquality.
NOTE: Always wear eye protection or a face
shield and protective rubber gloves
when cleaning the frypot as boil-out
chemical is an alkaline solution and can
cause severe burns.
NOTE: Because each fryer station is controlled
separately, the following procedure must
be followed for every unit in multiple-
fryer units.
NOTE: Manual Boil-Out can only be performed
when the actual temperature of the
frypot is less than 230°F (110°C).
1. Place the mobile oil drawer or heat safe container under
the drain. Rotate drain valve to OPEN to drain oil.
If equipped with the optional oil hand wand, use the
wand to pump oil into the frypot to further rinse food
particles out of the frypot. Carefully disconnect the
wand from fryer and drain any residual oil from the
wand into the frypot and then drain the remaining oil
from frypot.
2. Whilewearingheatresistantgloves,wipeexcessoilout
of inside of frypot with paper towel or clean rag.
