3 Cleaning
For your safety, observe the following warnings
throughout the entire cleaning process.
WARNING
Thoroughly clean and dry the floor if
shortening, water, or other materials are
spilled. Materials spilled on the floor can
cause serious injury or loss of life.
WARNING
To avoid electrocuting yourself or
damaging the machine, never allow water,
steam, shortening, cleaning solution, or any
other liquid to enter the electrical box.
WARNING
To avoid serious burns while cleaning, do
not touch the flue, exhaust manifold,
stacks, gas burners, or any part of the fryer
that is in contact with hot liquids.
There are four basic steps to cleaning the fryer:
removing the shortening, washing, rinsing, and
drying. You must perform all four steps and
perform them in the order listed.
Removing the Shortening
WARNING
To avoid being burned or electrocuted,
disconnect the fryer from the power source
before cleaning it.
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. Let the shortening cool to 100°F/38°C.
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.
