5.1.4 Clean the Frypot and Heating Elements – Weekly
DANGER
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with
water or vegetable oil before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will result in
irreparable damage to the elements and may cause a fire.
Boiling-Out the Frypot
Before the fryer is first used, it should be boiled out to ensure that residue from the manufacturing
process has been eliminated. Also, after the fryer has been in use for a period of time, a hard film of
caramelized vegetable oil/shortening will form on the inside of the frypot. This film should be
periodically removed by following the boil-out procedure contained in maintenance requirement
card (MRC) 14A. Refer to the separate M2000 Computer Operating Instructions furnished with the
fryer for specific details on setting up the computer for boil-out operation.
5.1.5 Clean Detachable Parts and Accessories – Weekly
Wipe all detachable parts and accessories with a clean, dry cloth. Use a clean cloth saturated with a
solution of McDonald’s All Purpose Concentrate to remove accumulated carbonized oil/shortening
on detachable parts and accessories. Rinse the parts and accessories thoroughly with clean water and
wipe dry before reinstalling.
