Periodic Cleaning

Periodic cleaning is necessary to remove carbonization from the elements and frypot.

Frypot may be cleaned by the method described at right, or with a commercial frypot cleaner. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's directions.

Before cleaning, ALWAYS:

•Unplug the fryer and allow to cool.

•Drain the oil and wipe out the frypot.

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.

F-14 specifications

The Wells F-14 is a remarkable aircraft that has captured the interest of aviation enthusiasts and professionals alike. This fighter jet, developed by Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation and later known as Northrop Grumman, boasts a rich history and a multitude of advanced features that made it a formidable presence in both military and civilian aviation.

One of the standout characteristics of the F-14 is its variable-sweep wing design. This innovative technology allows the wings to change their position during flight, optimizing performance during different flight phases. The wings can extend for improved lift during slow-speed flight, such as takeoff and landing, and sweep back for enhanced speed and maneuverability in high-speed combat situations. This feature significantly increases operational versatility, allowing the aircraft to excel in a wide range of missions.

The F-14 is powered by two Pratt & Whitney TF30 turbofan engines, providing it with impressive speed and range. Capable of reaching speeds exceeding Mach 2.0, the F-14 can quickly engage enemies or evade threats. Additionally, the aircraft's thrust-to-weight ratio enables quick acceleration, making it a nimble performer in various combat scenarios.

Equipped with a sophisticated avionics suite, the F-14 features advanced radar and targeting systems. The AN/AWG-9 radar system, one of the most significant components, enables the aircraft to track multiple targets at long ranges, providing pilots with critical situational awareness. The F-14 can be armed with a combination of air-to-air missiles, such as the AIM-54 Phoenix, AIM-7 Sparrow, and AIM-9 Sidewinder, as well as a 20mm M61 Vulcan cannon, allowing it to engage a diverse range of aerial threats.

Another notable feature of the F-14 is its crew configuration; it typically operates with a pilot and radar intercept officer, which enhances combat effectiveness through the division of responsibilities. This two-person crew maximizes situational awareness and allows for more tactical flexibility during missions.

The F-14 has left a legacy in aviation history, known for its role in the U.S. Navy and its appearances in popular culture, particularly in the film "Top Gun." Its unique combination of strength, agility, and cutting-edge technology has made it an enduring symbol of military aviation. As newer aircraft have emerged, the F-14's design and capabilities continue to influence modern fighter development, ensuring that its legacy will be felt for generations to come.
