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.
WARNING
Do not bang fry baskets or other utensils on the fryer’s joiner strip. The strip is
present to seal the joint between the fry vessels. Banging fry baskets on the strip to
dislodge shortening will distort the strip, adversely affecting its fit. It is designed for
a tight fit and should only be removed for cleaning.
4.4 Draining and Disposing of Waste Oil
When your cooking oil/shortening has reached the end of its usable life, drain the oil/shortening into
an appropriate container for transport to the disposal container. Frymaster recommends the use of
the McDonald’s Shortening Disposal Unit (MSDU). NOTE: If using an MSDU built before January
2004 the filter pan cover on must be removed to allow the unit to be positioned beneath the drain. To
remove the lid, lift up on the front edge and pull it straight out of the cabinet. Refer to the
documentation furnished with your disposal unit for specific operating instructions. If a shortening
disposal unit is not available, allow the oil/shortening to cool to 100°F (38°C), then drain the oil or
shortening into a metal stockpot or similar metal container. When draining is finished, close the
fryer drain valve securely.
DANGER
Allow oil/shortening to cool to 100°F (38°C) before draining into an appropriate
container for disposal.
When draining oil/shortening into a disposal unit, do not fill above the maximum fill
line located on the container.
