CHAPTER 3: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
3-4
3.2 Periodic/Annual Maintenance (cont.)
• Check filtration system integrity as follows:
− With the filter pan empty, place each oil return handle, one at a time, in the ON position. Verify
that the pump activates and that bubbles appear in the oil of the associated frypot.
− Close all oil return valves (i.e., place all oil return handles in the OFF position). Verify proper
functioning of each oil return valve by activating the filter pump using the lever on one of the oil
return handle microswitches. No air bubbles should be visible in any frypot.
− Verify that the filter pan is properly prepared for filtering, then drain a frypot of oil heated to
350°F (177°C) into the filter pan and close the frypot drain valve. Place the oil return handle in
the ON position. Allow all oil to return to the frypot (indicated by bubbles in the oil). Return the
oil return handle to the OFF position. The frypot should refill in no more than 2 minutes and 30
seconds.
To ensure good fryer health and a safe environment, the fryer should be checked and adjusted
periodically by qualified service personnel as part of a regular kitchen maintenance program.
3.3 Stainless Steel Care
All stainless steel fryer outer parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy water during the day
and with a liquid cleaner designed for this material at the end of each day.
Do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers or powders!
Do not use
a metal knife, spatula or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel! Scratches are
almost impossible to remove.
If it is necessary to scrape the stainless steel to remove any encrusted materials, soak the area first to
loosen the material, then use a wood or nylon scraper only.
