CLEANING
Daily
Clean your fryer 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. A self-soaping scouring pad may be used for particularly
stubborn discolorations. Always rub with the "GRAIN" in a horizontal direction.
Keeping the fryer exterior clean and free of accumulated grease will prevent stubborn stains from
forming. 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.
Fingerprints are sometimes a problem on highly polished surfaces of stainless steel. They can be
minimized by applying a cleaner that will leave a thin, oily or waxy film.
Weekly or as Required
1. Once the shortening has been drained, flush out scraps and sediment with a small amount of warm
shortening. Allow the tank to drain thoroughly.
2. Close the drain valve and fill the tank with a non-corrosive, grease-dissolving commercial cleaner,
following the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Set the thermostat at a temperature recommended by the manufacturer of the commercial cleaner
and boil the solution for 15 to 20 minutes. Monitor boiling to prevent overflow.
4. Drain the cleaning solution from the tank.
5. Close the drain valve and refill the tank with water. Add 1 cup (237ml) of vinegar to neutralize
alkaline left by the cleaner. Bring the solution to a boil and allow it to stand for a few minutes.
6. Drain the tank and rinse thoroughly with clear, hot water. All traces of cleaner must be removed.
Dry the tank thoroughly.
