CHAPTER 5: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
5.1 Cleaning the Fryer
DANGER
The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a
fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles
can spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.
DANGER
Never attempt to clean the fryer during the frying process or when the frypot is filled
with hot oil/shortening. If water comes in contact with oil/shortening heated to frying
temperature, it will cause spattering of the oil/shortening, which can result in severe
burns to nearby personnel.
WARNING
Use a commercial-grade cleaner formulated to effectively clean and sanitize
food-contact surfaces. Read the directions for use and precautionary statements
before use. Particular attention must be paid to the concentration of cleaner and the
length of time the cleaner remains on the food-contact surfaces.
5.1.1 Clean Inside and Outside of Fryer Cabinet – Daily
Clean inside the fryer cabinet with a dry, clean cloth. Wipe all accessible metal surfaces and
components to remove accumulated oil/shortening and dust.
Clean outside the fryer cabinet, with a clean, damp cloth soaked with dishwashing detergent. Wipe
with a clean, damp cloth.
5.1.2 Clean the Built-in Filtration System – Daily
WARNING
Never drain water into the filter pan. Water will damage the filter pump.
Clean the FootPrint III or Filter Magic II filter pan daily with a solution of hot water and
dishwashing detergent.
Immediately after each use, drain the Power Shower completely. If oil is leaking at the point where
the Power Shower plugs into the frypot, verify the O-ring and gasket on the connection fitting are
present, and in good condition. If you suspect blockage, unscrew the clean-out plugs at each corner
of the frame. Place the frame in a pan of hot water for several minutes to melt any solidified
oil/shortening. Use a long, narrow bottlebrush, hot water and detergent to clean inside the flare. If
necessary, insert a straightened paper clip or similarly sized wire into the holes in the frame to
remove any solidified shortening or other blockages. Rinse with hot water, dry thoroughly, and
reinstall the plugs before using.
