Weekly Cleaning
Solenoid Assembly (Fig. 28)
CAUTION: The kettle pressure-relief valve in the solenoid assembly must be cleaned at least
once a week during normal usage or the fryer may malfunction.
1. Open the kettle lid and remove the breather elbow (Fig. 29) from the inside wall of the kettle. Wash
the elbow in hot, soapy water, then rinse well and allow to air dry. Inspect the two O-Rings. If
cracked or worn, contact your local Hobart service office for replacement.

2. Unplug the electrical cord attached to the upper portion of the solenoid assembly. To unplug, twist
the plug counterclockwise and pull out.

solenoid and valve. The valve seats into the block with two O-Rings and some force may be
required.

4. Grasp the kettle pressure-relief valve with a towel and remove the valve from the solenoid. If the
hex nut on the base of the solenoid does not release easily, use the 1
1
/4" end wrench supplied.
Wash the valve in hot, soapy water. Rinse in clear water and set aside to air dry. Do not
disassemble the valve, but inspect the O-Rings and contact your local Hobart service office for
replacement if cracked or worn.
5. With the pressure-relief valve assembly out, run the flexible cleaning rod into the cleanout port
and through the kettle exhaust line to clear any obstructions.
6. Make sure the pressure-relief valve and breather elbow have thoroughly dried. Dip the ends of
the assemblies, with O-Rings, into the oil to lubricate the O-Rings.
7. Insert the breather elbow into the kettle exhaust line with the inlet hole directed upward.
8. Assemble the pressure-relief valve to the solenoid. Make certain the teflon gasket is seated
inside the hex nut. Align the widest opening of the valve to the clean-out port in the solenoid block.
Press the valve downward into the block. Make certain the valve O-Rings snap into their grooves.
