BIELA14 SERIES GEN II LOV™ ELECTRIC FRYER
CHAPTER 6: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
6.1 Cleaning the Fryer
DANGER
The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a fireproof
container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles can spontaneously
combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.
DANGER
Never attempt to clean the fryer during the frying process or when the frypot is filled with hot
oil. If water comes in contact with oil heated to frying temperature, it will cause spattering of
the oil, which can result in severe burns to nearby personnel.
WARNING
Use McDonald’s All Purpose Concentrate. Read the directions for use and precautionary
statements before use. Particular attention must be paid to the concentration of cleaner and
the length of time the cleaner remains on the food contact surfaces.
6.1.1 Clean Inside and Outside of the Fryer Cabinet – Daily
Clean inside the fryer cabinet with a dry, clean cloth. Wipe all accessible metal surfaces and components to
remove accumulated oil and dust.
Clean the outside of the fryer cabinet with a clean, damp cloth soaked with McDonald’s All Purpose
Concentrate. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
6.1.2 Clean the Built-in Filtration System – Daily
WARNING
Never drain water into the filter pan. Water will damage the filter pump.
There are no periodic preventive maintenance checks and services required for your FootPrint Pro Filtration
System other than daily cleaning of the filter pan and associated components with a solution of hot water and
McDonald’s All Purpose Concentrate.
6.1.3 Clean Behind Fryers – Weekly
Clean behind fryers in accordance with the procedure detailed in maintenance requirement card (MRC14A).
WARNING
To ensure the safe and efficient operation of the fryer and hood, the electrical plug for the
120-volt line, which powers the hood, must be fully engaged and locked in its pin and sleeve
socket.
6.1.4 Clean the Frypot and Heating Elements – Quarterly
DANGER
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled to the fill line
with water or cooking oil before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will result in
irreparable damage to the elements and may cause a fire.
