CLEANING
WARNING: HOT OIL AND PARTS CAN CAUSE BURNS. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING,
CLEANING AND SERVICING THE FRYER.
DAILY
• Clean all exterior surfaces of your fryer at least once daily.
• Use a damp cloth with warm water and a mild soap or detergent.
• Rinse thoroughly, then polish with a soft, dry cloth.
• Keep the fryer exterior clean and free of accumulated grease to prevent stubborn stains from
forming. If regular cleaning is neglected, grease will be burned on and discolorations may form.
• Remove discolorations by washing with any detergent or soap and water.
• Use a self-soaping nonmetallic scouring pad for particularly stubborn discolorations.
• Always rub with the grain of the stainless steel.
• Do not use a scouring pad or harsh cleaners on the keypad or display area.
• Cleaning instructions for fryers equipped with Filter-In-A-Drawer are covered in a separate
instruction manual. Follow the instructions accordingly.
WEEKLY OR AS REQUIRED
1. Drain shortening.
NOTE: Fryers equipped with Filter-In-A-Drawer are covered in a separate instruction manual.
Follow the instructions for draining the tank.
2. Flush out scraps and sediment with a small amount of warm shortening.
3. Allow the tank to drain thoroughly.
4. Close the drain valve and fill the tank with a noncorrosive, grease-dissolving commercial cleaner.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Boil the solution for 15 to 20 minutes. If the cleaner is a water-based chemical, temperature may
be 190°F to 212°F (88°C to 100°C). On HGF fryers, set the thermostat as low as possible. Follow
the manufacturer’s instructions. Monitor boiling to prevent overflow.
NOTE: HGFD and HGFC are equipped with an automatic boil function that senses when water
is used in place of oil. When water is sensed, the fryer will automatically operate at boil
temperature to 192°F.
6. Drain the cleaning solution from the tank.
NOTE: On fryers equipped with Filter-In-A-Drawer, do not drain cleaning solution into the
pump or filter system. See Filter-In-A-Drawer manual for information on cleaning.
7. Close the drain valve and refill the tank with water.
8. Add 1 cup (235 mL) of vinegar to neutralize alkaline left by the cleaner.
9. Bring the solution to a boil, do not allow to boil over, and let stand for a few minutes.
