3-11. CLEANING
THE FRYPOT
After the initial installation of the fryer, as well as before every change
of shortening, the frypot should be thoroughly cleaned as follows:
1. Turn the main power switch to OFF, and unplug unit from the wall
receptacle.
Moving either the frypot, or filter pan, while containing hot
shortening is not recommended. Hot shortening can splash
out. Severe burns could result.
The filter drain pan must be as far back under the fryer as it
will go, and the cover in place. Be sure the hole in the cover
lines up with the drain before opening the drain. Failure to
follow these instructions causes splashing of shortening and
could result in personal injury.
2. If hot shortening is present in the frypot, it must be drained by
slowly opening the drain valve handle one half turn. Leave for
a few minutes, then slowly open the valve to the full open
position.
3. Close the drain valve and discard the shortening in the filter pan.
Then install the filter drain pan under the fryer, leaving out the
filter screen assembly.
4. Refer to Wendy’s frypot cleaning procedures.
DO NOT CLOSE LID WITH WATER AND/OR
CLEANER IN FRYPOT. WATER UNDER PRES-
SURE BECOMES SUPERHEATED. WHEN LID IS
OPENED, ESCAPING WATER AND STEAM WILL
RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
