Monthly
To ensure that your Mark V-DW continues to
work well and to make good products, you must
clean the conveyor and the kettle thoroughly
every month. There are four 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
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. Unplug the cutter head power cord.
3. Let the shortening cool to 100
°F/38°C.
4. Remove the shortening from the fryer kettle.
To do this, place an EZ Melt or a large metal
bucket underneath the drain valve. Slowly
open the drain valve and allow the
shortening to drain out. (See Figure 2-1.) If
you are using a bucket and the bucket
becomes full, close the drain valve.
Continue draining into another bucket.
WARNING
Thoroughly clean and dry the floor if
shortening is spilled. Shortening on the
floor can cause serious injury or loss of life.
5. Lift the cutter head off the swing column.
6. If you have an EZ Melt, use the rinsing hose
to rinse the conveyor assembly and the kettle
with shortening. Allow the shortening to
drain into the EZ Melt.
7. When all of the shortening has dripped off of
the conveyor assembly, remove the conveyor
assembly as follows:
a. Disengage the swing connecting rod
from the swing column.
b. Lift the conveyor assembly from the
conveyor locating pin and pull it away
from the heater head to disengage the
main drive shaft coupling from the
conveyor drive coupling.
c. Remove and set aside the conveyor
assembly.
8. Brush off any carbon that has accumulated
on the heating element. Accumulated
carbon can cause corrosion and ineffective
heating.
9. If you have an EZ Melt, use the rinsing hose
to rinse the kettle with shortening. Allow
the shortening to drain into the EZ Melt.
10. Install the conveyor assembly.
11. Close the drain valve.
Washing
1. Pour hot water into the kettle, up to the
normal level of the shortening. Add about
2 oz/59 ml of trisodium phosphate or other
appropriate cleaner.
2. Connect the machine to the power source.
Heat the solution to 200
°F/93°C. Turn on
the conveyor. Keep the solution at this
temperature for 15-20 minutes.
3. Turn off the conveyor and scrub the soiled
parts while the solution is under heat. Do
not use any abrasive cleaners or scrapers.
4. Turn off the heater and disconnect the
machine from the power source. Allow the
cleaning solution to cool to 100
°F/38°C.
