CLEANING
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 is controlled
separately, the following procedure
must be followed for every unit in a fryer
battery.
NOTE: Manual Boil-Out can only be performed
when the actual temperature of the
frypot is less than 210°F (99°C).
NOTES: Before and during boil-out:
Before draining any kettle, be sure the optional
mobile oil caddy or heat safe container is in its
location underneath the drain(s).
DO NOT DRAIN MORE THAN ONE KETTLE AT A
TIME. THE OPTIONAL MOBILE OIL CADDY ONLY
HAS ENOUGH CAPACITY FOR ONE KETTLE.
