5. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
5.1 GENERAL: Any piece of equipment
works better and lasts longer when
maintained properly and kept clean.
Cooking equipment is no exception. The
fryer must be kept clean during the
working day and thoroughly cleaned at the
end of each day.
5.2 DAILY: Wash all removable parts.
Clean all exterior surfaces of the body. Do
not use cleansers, steel wool, or any other
abrasive material on the stainless steel.
Filter the cooking oil and replace if
necessary. The oil should be filtered more
often than daily under heavy use
conditions.
5.3 ACCESS FOR SERVICING:
The appliance is equipped with a bracket
attached on the center of the structural
back to connect a restraining device
supplied by the installer. The restraining
device should meet the requirements
specified in section 3.4.e of this manual.
In addition, if the fryers installed have
casters provided by Dean Industries, both
rear casters come with a locking
mechanism that prevents the fryer from
moving when the lever or each mechanism
is turned “ON”.
To gain access for servicing, the
restraining device has to be removed from
the bracket and both front casters locking
mechanisms have to be turned “OFF”.
To return the unit to its previous installed
position see sections 3.4 and 5.3 of this
manual.
5.4 WEEKLY:
a. Completely drain the oil from the fry
vessel into either the filter or a steel
container. Do not use a plastic bucket
or glass container.
b. Clean the vessel with a good grade of
cleaner or hot water and a strong
detergent.
c. Close the drain valve and refill with
either the cleaning solution or water
and detergent.
d. Set operating thermostat to 220° F
(104°C). Bring to a rolling boil, then
turn the heat down and let the mixture
stand until deposits and/or carbon
spots can be rubbed off with the
Teflon brush.
e. Scrub tank walls, bottom and heating
tubes. Then drain vessel and rinse in
clear water.
DO NOT DRAIN WATER INTO
FILTER. WATER WILL
DAMAGE THE FILTER PUMP.
f. Refill with clear water, set operating
thermostat to 220°F (104°C), and boil
again. Once boiling is completed, turn
operating thermostat “OFF”, drain,
rinse, and dry thoroughly.
g. Immediately refill with cooking oil or
frying compound as directed in
Section 4.3.
