CLEANING
Daily
Clean your fryer regularly. Keeping the fryer 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.
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. Do not use stainless steel wool pads on
stainless steel finishes. Pieces of the steel wool will adhere to the stainless steel surface and cause
rusting.
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 (237 ml) 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.
7. Close the drain valve.
8. Add shortening between the MIN and MAX level lines.
Cleaning Stainless Steel
Stainless steel may be cleaned with ordinary soap or detergent and water. To prevent water spots
and streaks, rinse equipment thoroughly with warm water and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth. The
addition of a rinsing agent will also help prevent spotting.
Fingerprints
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. Wipe cleaner on and remove
excess with a soft dry cloth.
