FRYER - PERIODIC CLEANING
Empty frypot and performing cleaning procedure as described on page 21.
Add 1/2 cup of granulated dishwasher detergent to frypot. Fill with water
to the MAX OIL line.
Lower the element into the frypot and set the control knob to 225ºF
Boil the mixture for five minutes. Turn the control knob to OFF. Allow the
mixture to set in the frypot overnight.
After the soak period, raise the elements and remove any remaining
carbonization with a stiff bristle brush. Be careful that the capillary tubes
of the thermobulbs are not moved or damaged during cleaning.
Drain the 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 the elements into the vinegar solution. 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.
