5.7.2 Cleaning the Filter Leaf Assembly
Clean the two seal frame pieces, screens and grid using a good quality degreaser and hot water
from a spray nozzle. The groove in the seal frame pieces can be cleaned with the edge of a
Scotch-Brite or similar cleaning pad.
At each scheduled boil out, disassemble the filter leaf as described in Section 5.7.1 and place in the
frypot filled with boil-out solution. Follow the boil-out procedure in Section 4.4.1, including placing
the filter leaf in the vinegar solution to neutralize boil-out residue, and clean water to rinse away
vinegar residue. In KFC co-branded locations, follow KFC approved procedure for cleaning the
filter leaf assembly.
Allow all filter leaf components to air dry or thoroughly dry with paper towels.
NOTE: In KFC co-branded locations, boil out is NOT ALLOWED. Use KFC approved
procedure.
5.8 CLOSING
When closing at night, filter the shortening as described in Sections 5.3–5.6. Cover open frypots of
oil with vat covers. Turn the power switch off and turn the control knob on the pilot safety valve to
"OFF".
5.8.1 Shutdown For Extended Periods
1. When shutting down for longer than overnight, drain the shortening, clean the frypot
thoroughly, and either discard the shortening or return it filtered to the frypot and cover it. If
shortening is not returned to the frypot, immediately coat the frypot with shortening to
prevent rust from forming.
2. Turn the manual valve on the incoming service line or combination gas valve to "OFF".
3. Disconnect any power cords from the wall sockets or turn off the circuit breakers.
