2. Position a metal container with a sealable cover under the drainpipe. The metal container must
be able to withstand the heat of the oil and hold hot liquids.
3. Open the drain valve slowly to avoid splattering. If the drain valve becomes clogged with food
particles, use the Fryer’s Friend (poker-like tool) to clear the blockage.
DANGER
NEVER attempt to clear a clogged drain valve from the front of the valve! Hot oil or
shortening will rush out creating the potential for severe burns.
DO NOT hammer on the drain valve with the cleanout rod or other objects. Damage
to the ball inside will result in leaks and will void the Frymaster warranty.
4. After draining the oil, clean all food particles and residual oil from the frypot. BE CAREFUL,
this material may still cause severe burns if it comes in contact with bare skin.
5. Close the drain valve securely and fill the frypot with clean, filtered or fresh oil or solid
shortening to the bottom OIL-LEVEL line.
DANGER
When using solid shortening, pack the shortening down into the bottom of the
frypot. DO NOT operate the fryer with a solid block of shortening sitting in the upper
portion of the frypot. This will cause damage to the frypot and may cause a flash
fire.
4.3 Preparation for Use with Filter Pad
1. Pull the filter pan out from the cabinet
and remove the crumb tray, hold-down
ring, filter pad (or paper) and filter
screen. (See Figure 1) Clean all
components with a solution of
McDonald’s All Purpose Concentrate
and hot water, then dry thoroughly.
The filter pan is equipped with rollers in
rails, much like a kitchen drawer. The
pan may be removed for cleaning or to
gain access to interior components by
lifting the front of the pan to disengage
the front rollers, then pulling it forward
until the rear rollers clear the rails. The
pan cover must not be removed except
for cleaning, interior access, or to allow
a shortening disposal unit (MSDU) to be
positioned under the drain.
