extreme burn hazard to personnel.
5.1.3 Clean the Frypot and Heating Elements- Weekly
DANGER
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with
water or cooking oil/shortening before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will
result in irreparable damage to the elements and may cause a fire.
Boiling-Out the Frypot
Before the fryer is first used, it should be boiled out to ensure that residue from the manufacturing
process has been eliminated. Also, after the fryer has been in use for a period of time, a hard film of
caramelized vegetable oil will form on the inside of the frypot. This film should be periodically
removed by following the boil-out procedure that follows.
1. Before switching the fryer(s) ON, close the frypot drain valve(s), then fill the empty frypot with
a mixture of cold water and dishwashing detergent. Follow instructions on detergent container
when mixing.
2. Press the fryer ON/OFF switch to the ON position. On fryers equipped with solid state (analog)
controllers, set the melt switch to OFF.
3. For fryers equipped with Computer Magic III computers, program the computer for boil-out as
described in the separate Frymaster Fryer Controllers User’s Manual.
For fryers with digital controllers, set the temperature to 195
°F (91°C) as described in the
separate Frymaster Fryer Controllers User’s Manual.
For fryers with solid state (analog) controllers, set the temperature control knob to the lowest
setting.
