CHAPTER 6: PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
6.1 FRYER PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICE
DANGER
The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a fire-
proof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles can
spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.
DANGER
Never attempt to clean fryer during the cooking process or when the frypot is filled
with hot oil. If water comes in contact with oil heated to cooking temperature, it can
cause the oil to splatter and severely burn nearby personnel.
WARNING
Use a commercial-grade cleaner formulated to effectively clean and sanitize
food-contact surfaces. Read the directions for use and precautionary statements be-
fore use. Particular attention must be paid to the concentration of cleaner and the
length of time the cleaner remains on the food-contact surfaces.
6.2 DAILY CHECKS AND SERVICE
6.2.1 Inspect Fryer and Accessories for Damage
Look for loose or frayed wires and cords, leaks, foreign material in frypot or inside cabinet, and any
other indications that the fryer and accessories are not ready and safe for operation.
6.2.2 Clean Fryer Cabinet Inside and Out
Clean inside the fryer cabinet with dry, clean cloth. Wipe all accessible metal surfaces and compo-
nents to remove accumulations of oil and dust.
Clean the outside of the fryer cabinet with a clean, damp cloth soaked with dishwashing detergent,
removing oil, dust, and lint from the fryer cabinet.
6.2.3 Clean the Built-in Filtration System Daily
WARNING
Never operate the filter system without oil in the system.
WARNING
Never use the filter pan to transport old oil to the disposal area.
WARNING
Never drain water into the filter pan. Water will damage the filter pump.
