3. Place a Belshaw Shortening Filter or a large
metal container under the drain valve of the
fryer.
WARNING
Do not use a plastic container. If the
shortening is not cool enough, the container
will melt, possibly causing you to be
burned, and causing shortening to get on
the floor.
4. Open the drain valve by turning the drain
valve extension knob on the side of the fryer
cabinet. Allow all the shortening to drain
into the Shortening Filter or metal container.
5. If you are using a metal container, watch it
to make sure the shortening does not
overflow. If the container becomes full,
close the drain valve, put another metal
container under the drain valve, and open
the drain valve again.
WARNING
Do not allow the shortening to overflow the
containers. Shortening will get on the
floor, and if the shortening is not cool
enough, you may be burned.
WARNING
Thoroughly clean and dry the floor if
shortening is spilled. Shortening on the
floor can cause serious injury or loss of life.
6. If you have drained the shortening into a
metal container and you wish to re-use the
shortening, set the container of shortening
aside. Place another suitable container
under the drain valve.
7. Brush accumulated carbon from the heating
elements. Accumulated carbon causes
corrosion and poor heat recovery.
8. Tilt the heater head assembly out of the fryer
and lock it in place.
9. Using a non-abrasive, non-metallic spatula,
scrape the sediment and any remaining
shortening through the drain valve.
10. Close the drain valve.
11. If your fryer has a Belshaw Shortening
Melter (FM) connected to it, install the plug
into the reservoir nipple.
Washing
1. Carefully pour hot water into the kettle, up
to the normal level of the shortening. Add
trisodium phosphate or another appropriate
cleaner.
2. Scrub the inside of the kettle. Do not use
any abrasive cleaners or scrapers.
WARNING
To avoid being burned, be very careful as
you work with hot cleaning solution. Never
put your hands in the solution. Wear
gloves and long sleeves in case any solution
splashes.
3. Allow the cleaning solution to cool to the
touch.
4. Place a large metal container under the drain
valve.
WARNING
Do not use a plastic container. If the
cleaning solution is not cool enough, the
container will melt; possibly causing you to
be burned, and causing cleaning solution to
get on the floor.
5. Open the drain valve and allow the cleaning
solution to drain into the container.
