DAILY CLEANING PROCEDURE
NOTE: Cleaning is recommended at the end of a
workday, to prepare the fryer for proper operation
the next time it is to be used.
DANGER
DO NOT move the fryer while it contains
HOT shortening. Allow it to cool and
drain the shortening from the fryer be-
fore moving it for service, cleaning, or
maintenance to avoid spilling or splash-
ing. [Refer to steps 1 through 7.] Burns
from HOT shortening can cause seri-
ous injury or death.
When cleaning, if relocation of your fryer is
necessary, disconnect the gas supply line to the
fryer. Also, if your fryer is caster-equipped, unlock
the locking casters and disconnect the movement-
limiting cable. Move the fryer as necessary to
allow the following cleaning procedure to occur:
1. Open the front door of the fryer. Attach the
drain extension to the drain ball valve.
2. Perform the Shutdown Procedure. Ensure
that the gas supply line inlet valve is closed
(handle cross-wise to pipe line) and the pilot
flame is extinguished.
3. Position a steel drum [NEVER use plastic!]
with a filter cone, directly beneath the drain
extension end, OR if your fryer is equipped
with an ANETS Filtronic II or Filter
Mate unit, refer to that equipment’s manual
for operation details.
4. Remove the fryer baskets and the sediment
tray, if present, from the kettle. (If the screen
is present, use the cleanout rod to lift it from
the hot shortening, to avoid burns.) Thor-
oughly clean, and rinse, these items in the
sink. MAKE SURE that these items are
completely dry before their next use.

5. Allow the shortening to cool before draining.
Slowly open the drain ball valve to drain the
shortening. Take care to avoid spilling or
splashing the shortening.
6. Carefully use the Cleanout Rod to clear any
sediment blocking the kettle drain. Flush out
all sediment in the bottom of the kettle by
pouring filtered, liquid shortening into the ket-
tle until the shortening being drained runs
clear.
7. Close the drain ball valve, after the kettle is
completely empty of shortening and sedi-
ment. Detach the drain extension. Clean,
rinse, and dry it before storing.
WARNING
Wait until the kettle has cooled
before performing step 8, to avoid
injury from burns.
8. Thoroughly wipe the kettle interior using
clean cloths.
9. Periodically perform the “BOIL OUT”
Instructions to ensure thorough cleaning of
the kettle. ( Refer to the earlier FRYER
PREPARATION FOR USE section.)
10. Return the fryer to its normal operating loca-
tion and reconnect both the gas supply line
and the movement-limiting cable. (For
caster-equipped fryers, lock the locking cas-
ters to prevent movement.)
11. Refill the kettle with filtered (or fresh) liquid
shortening to the desired indent mark on the
rear wall of the kettle, only if fryer operation
is to continue during a subsequent shift.
Otherwise, melt shortening into its liquid state
and refill the kettle before fryer operation is
scheduled during the next working shift.
