3Cleaning

For your safety, observe the following warnings throughout the entire cleaning process.

WARNING

Thoroughly clean and dry the floor if shortening, water, or other materials are spilled. Materials spilled on the floor can cause serious injury or loss of life.

WARNING

To avoid electrocuting yourself or

damaging the machine, never allow water, steam, shortening, cleaning solution, or any other liquid to enter the electrical box.

WARNING

To avoid serious burns while cleaning, do

not touch the flue, exhaust manifold,

stacks, gas burners, or any part of the fryer

that is in contact with hot liquids.

There are four basic steps to cleaning the fryer: removing the shortening, washing, rinsing, and drying. You must perform all four steps and perform them in the order listed.

Removing the Shortening

WARNING

To avoid being burned or electrocuted, disconnect the fryer from the power source before cleaning it.

1.Disconnect the machine from the power source.

2.Let the shortening cool to 100°F/38°C.

3.Place a Belshaw Shortening Filter or a large metal container under the drain valve of the fryer.

WARNING

Do not use a plastic container. If the

shortening is not cool enough, the container

will melt, possibly causing you to be

burned, and causing shortening to get on

the floor.

4.Open the drain valve by turning the drain valve extension knob on the side of the fryer cabinet. Allow all the shortening to drain into the Shortening Filter or metal container.

5.If you are using a metal container, watch it to make sure the shortening does not overflow. If the container becomes full, close the drain valve, put another metal container under the drain valve, and open the drain valve again.
