Daily Cleaning
1. Before returning oil to the kettle following the final filtering operation of the day, close the drain
valve and pour 1 or 2 gallons (3.8 or 7.6 L) of cold water into the kettle. Use a web-type,
nonshredding, nylon scrubbing pad and thoroughly wash down the interior of the kettle. Drain the
wash water into a pail and discard. Towel dry the interior of the kettle.
2. Close the kettle drain valve and return the filtered oil to the kettle. Add fresh oil as required to
maintain the correct oil level.
3. Clean stainless steel regularly with a damp cloth and polish with a soft, dry cloth. If regular
cleaning is neglected, grease will be burned on and discolorations may form. These may be
removed by washing with any detergent or soap and water. Particularly stubborn discolorations
may be removed with a self-soaping scouring pad or a paste made of water and a mild scouring
powder applied with a plastic open pad or sponge. CAUTION: Always rub with the grain in a
horizontal direction.
4. It is important to keep the fryer exterior clean and free of accumulated grease. Wash all exterior
surfaces at least once daily. Use a cloth with warm water and a mild soap or detergent. Follow
with a clear rinse, then dry.
5. Wash the frying basket in hot, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
