Automatic Lift Fryer Maintenance
To refill the pot through the rinse hose, use the steps below:
 Make certain that the rinse hose is connected to rinse hose connector.
 Holding the hose by the handle, place hose nozzle inside the pot.
 Position the FILL lever in the THRU HOSE position.
 Position
the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to FILTER and shortening will automatically pump
into the pot.
 Let the filter continue to pump the shortening until the fill mark in the fryer pot is reached
or until air starts bubbling through the shortening.
 As soon as air is seen in the shortening, position the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to OFF to
prevent shortening degradation.
 Add new shortening if the fill mark has not been reached.
Boil-Out Procedure
Boil-outs remove microscopic particles of carbon that build up on the walls of the fryer pot. To avoid
eventual carbon build-up, off flavors, and shortening breakdown, boil-outs should be done once a week
on each fryer following these procedures.
Always wear appropriate personal protection equipment during the boil-out
process to guard against possible injury from hot cleaning solution.
1. Position the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to OFF.
2. Drain the clean shortening into an adequate storage container. (Allow the shortening to cool to
room temperature before attempting storage.)
3. CLOSE the drain and fill the fryer pot with HOT water to the shortening level fill mark. Do not
overfill by allowing the water level higher than the fill mark.
4. Add ½ cup (4 ounces) of BKI cleaner.
5. Wash down the inside of the pot with the pot brush to loosen the sediment.
6. Set the temperature of the solution as follows:
 ALF-F – Place the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to the FRY position. Press the START/STOP
button on the digital timer to cancel the STIR OIL function unless the STIR OIL function is
operating in the –OFF mode. Set the thermostat to a temperature of 190º F.
 ALF-FC – Position the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to FRY. Press PROG (program), type 1733,
and press ENTER. The fryer pot will heat to a temperature of 190º F during the CLEAN cycle
to allow the CLEAN function to be performed. NOTE: The fryer pot must be below 255º F to
enter the CLEAN mode.
7. Bring the cleaning solution to a rolling boil and maintain the boil for 5 minutes.
8. Place the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to OFF.
9. Scrub the inside of the fryer pot again.
