There are no periodic preventive maintenance checks and services required for your FootPrint Pro
Filtration System other than daily cleaning of the filter pan with a solution of hot water and
detergent.
If you notice that the system is pumping slowly or not at all, verify that the filter pan screen is on the
bottom of the filter pan, with the paper on top of the screen. (If the unit is equipped with a Magnasol
filter screen rather than with the standard screen and paper system, verify that the O-ring on the
bottom fitting of the screen in present and in good condition.) Verify that the two O-ring(s) on the
fitting at the right front of the filter pan are present and in good condition.
6.3 WEEKLY CHECKS AND SERVICE
6.3.1 Drain and Clean Frypot
DANGER
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with
water or oil before lighting the burners. Failure to do so will damage the frypot and
may cause a fire.
6.3.2 Boiling Out the Frypot
After the fryer has been in use for a period of time, a hard film of caramelized oil will form on the
inside of the frypot. This deposit must be periodically removed to maintain your fryer’s efficiency.
See section 4.11 page 4-16 for instructions on boiling out the frypot.
6.4 MONTHLY CHECKS AND SERVICE
6.4.1 Check Computer Magic 7 Set Point Accuracy
(This check applies only to units equipped with Computer Magic 7 Controllers.)
1. Insert a good-grade thermometer or pyrometer probe into the oil, with the end touching the fryer
temperature-sensing probe.
2. When the computer display shows a series of four dashes “----” with no dot between the first and
second dashes (indicating that the frypot contents are within the cooking range), press the
switch once to display the temperature of the cooking oil as sensed by the temperature probe.
3. Press the switch twice to display the set point.
4. Note the temperature on the thermometer or pyrometer. All three readings should be within
± 5ºF (2ºC) of each other. If not, contact a Factory Authorized Service Center for assistance.
