5.1.3 Clean the Frypot and Heating Elements – Weekly
DANGER
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled 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.
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 will form on the inside of the frypot. This film should be periodically
removed by following the boil-out procedure that follows.
1. Before switching the fryer(s) ON, close the frypot drain valve(s), then fill the empty frypot with
a mixture of cold water and dishwashing detergent. Follow instructions on detergent container
when mixing.
2. Press the fryer ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
3. Set the temperature control knob to the lowest setting.
4. Simmer the solution for 45 minutes to one hour. Do not allow the water level to drop below the
bottom oil-level line in the frypot during the boil-out operation.
DANGER
Never leave the fryer unattended during the boil-out process. If the boil-out solution
boils over, turn the fryer off immediately and let the solution cool for a few minutes
before resuming the process.
