7. CLEANING
1. The frequency of cleaning should depend on the load conditions. Set a definite cleaning schedule
corresponding to how hard the kettle is used. Cleaning should be done at least once a week.
A. Turn the thermostat to “OFF” and allow unit to cool down.
B. Lift the elements to drain position. Wire brush or scrape elements to remove any solids
adhering to the elements.
C. Raise the elements. Lift out fry tank. Strain the frying compound into a clean container.
D. Replace empty fry tank, lower elements to rest inside the tank.
E. Add water to the mark on tank.
F. Add any good grade of cleaner, following cleaning instructions.

H. Boil long enough to loosen or dissolve all varnish or carbon deposits, approximately 30
minutes.
I. Turn the unit off and lift out the elements to drain position.
J. If necessary, clean the thermostat bulbs using a long-handled fiber or plastic brush and mild
soap solution.

M. Rinsethe inside of the tank with 2 cups of vinegar.
N. Rinse with clean water until the vinegar odor is gone. The fry tank must be thoroughly rinsed,
since even a trace of cleaner left inside the tank will ruin frying compound.
O. Dry thoroughly. Replace the tank and lower the elements.
P. Shut the unit off and cover tank until ready for further use.
Q. Thin films of oil subjected to frying temperatures quickly form into a gummy consistency. In
order to avoid these gum formations, keep all other surfaces of the unit clean by polishing
stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth. To remove discolorations or oil film, a non-
abrasive cleaner may be used.
