Periodic cleaning is
necessary to remove
carbonization from the
elements and frypot.
Frypot may be cleaned by
the method described at
right, or with a commercial
frypot cleaner. Be sure to
follow the manufacturer's
directions.
Before cleaning, ALWAYS:
• Turn heat switch and
temperature control
OFF and allow fryer to
cool.
• Drain the oil and wipe
out the frypot.
PERIODIC CLEANING
Add 1/2 cup of granulated dishwasher detergent to frypot. Fill with water
to MAX OIL line.
Lower element into the frypot. Press heat switch ON and set
temperature control knob to 225ºF.
Boil the mixture for five minutes. Turn heat switch and control knob OFF.
Allow mixture to set in frypot overnight.
After soak period, raise elements and remove any remaining carbonization
with a stiff bristle brush. Be careful that capillary tubes of the thermobulbs
are not moved or damaged during cleaning.
Drain frypot and wash with warm water and mild detergent.
Reinstall the frypot in the fryer. Add 1 quart of vinegar, then fill to the MAX
OIL line with cold water.
Lower elements into the vinegar solution with heat switch and temperature
control OFF. Allow to set for 15 minutes.
Drain the frypot and rinse with clean water. Dry the frypot and elements
thoroughly before returning the fryer to operation.
IMPORTANT: Nickel plated frypot must be dried completely in order to
prevent rusting, and to eliminate water contamination of the cooking oil.
