3.1. DAILY PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Performing the preventative maintenance steps below on a daily basis will keep your equipment safe
and at peak performance. During the cooking process, oil/shortening may spill and splatter and
requires immediate attention. Furthermore, during the cooking process, particles, crumbs and
crackling collect inside the cooker tank reducing product quality and decreasing oil/shortening life. If
you are producing high quantities of fried food and/or frying heavily battered food, it may be
necessary to perform these steps more then once a day.
