Cleaning the Conveyor and
the Kettle
There are three basic steps to cleaning the
conveyor and the fryer kettle: removing the
shortening, washing, rinsing, and drying. You
must perform all four steps and perform them in
the order listed.
Removing the Shortening
WARNING
To avoid being burned or electrocuted,
disconnect the machine from the power
source before cleaning the fryer.
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. Let the shortening cool to 100 °F/38°C.
3. Unplug the cutter head power cord.
4. Lift the cutter head off the swing column.
5. Remove the conveyor assembly as follows:
a. Obtain two pieces of wood, at least 1” x
1” x 15” (2.5 cm x 2.5 cm x 38 cm).
b. Lift off the swing connecting rod.
c. Lift the conveyor assembly from the
conveyor locating pin and pull it away
from the control box to disengage the
main drive shaft coupling from the
conveyor drive coupling.
d. Lift the outfeed end of the conveyor.
Slide one piece of wood under the
conveyor and lay it across the top of the
kettle. Lift the other end of the conveyor
and do the same thing with the other
piece of wood. The conveyor will now
be resting on the two pieces of wood.
Let the shortening drain off of the
conveyor and into the kettle. See Figure
2-1.
