CLEANING
Daily
Clean the exterior of 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. To use these cleaners, simply
wipe on and remove excess with a soft dry cloth. After using, subsequent fingerprints will usually
disappear when wiped lightly with a soft dry cloth or with a cloth containing a little of the cleaner.
If the surface is heavily soiled to start with, wash first with soap or detergent and water.
Weekly or as Required
1. Once the shortening has been drained, flush out scraps and sediment with a small amount of warm
