FRYER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Regular maintenance is recommended to keep the fryer operating properly.
Once each month, before beginning fryer opera- tion, check the flue (behind the backsplash panel) to ensure that it is clear, enabling exhaust combus- tion gases to flow freely toward the ventilation hood area. DO NOT allow the flue to become excessively dirty. NEVER allow the flue to be blocked.
Monthly, observe the condition of the ventilation hood. If it shows evidence of a great deal of greasy residue, remove (clean) the residue to allow free flow of ventilation air.
