! DANGER
DO NOT move the fryer while it contains HOT shortening. Allow it to cool and drain the shortening from the fryer be- fore moving it for service, cleaning or maintenance to avoid spilling or splash- ing. [Refer to steps 1 through 7.] Burns from HOT shortening can cause seri- ous injury or death.

4.Remove the fryer baskets and the sediment tray, if present, from the fryer. (If the screen is present, use the cleanout rod to lift it from the hot shortening, to avoid burns.) Clean, and rinse, these items in the sink. MAKE SURE that these items are completely dry
before their next use.
5.Allow shortening to cool before draining. Slowly open the drain ball valve to drain the shortening. Take care to avoid spilling or splashing the shortening.
6.Carefully use the Cleanout Rod to clear any sediment blocking the kettle drain. Flush out all sediment in the bottom of the kettle by pouring filtered liquid shortening into the ket- tle until the shortening being drained runs clear.
7.Close the drain ball valve, after the kettle is completely empty of shortening and sedi- ment. Detach the drain extension. Clean, rinse, and dry it before storing (on door bracket).
