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
Avoid moving the fryer while it contains
HOT shortening. Drain the shortening from
the fryer before moving it for service, clean-
ing or maintenance to avoid spilling or
splashing. [Refer to steps 1 through 7.]
Burns from HOT shortening can cause se-
rious injury or death.
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.
4. Slowly open the drain ball valve to drain the
HOT shortening.
5. Remove the fryer baskets and screen from
the kettle. Remove the basket hanger from
the flue. Clean, and rinse, these items in the
sink. MAKE SURE that these items are
completely dry before their next use.
6. Clear any sediment blocking the kettle drain.
Flush out all sediment in the bottom of the
kettle by pouring filtered liquid shortening
into the kettle 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.
FRYER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)
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, if it was moved for cleaning, and recon-
nect both the gas supply line and the move-
ment-limiting cable. (For caster-equipped
fryers, lock the locking casters 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 normal working
shift.
12. Attach the basket hanger to the top of the
backsplash panel. Return the screen and
fryer baskets to their proper positions on the
basket hanger.
13. Perform the Lighting Procedure to return
the fryer to operation, when desired.
