Care, Maintenance
and Cleaning
CAUTION
All cleaning and maintenance should be done only when the fryer and grill are cool and with the fuel supply turned off at the cylinder.
Suggested Cleaning Materials:
•Mild dishwashing liquid detergent
•Hot water • Wire brush
•Paper clip • Nylon cleaning pad
•Soft
Component Cleaning:
■Make sure cooking oil is sufficiently cool.
■Carefully remove the oil reservoir from the fryer.
■Pour the oil into a container with a resealable cap for storage or to discard.
■BURNER:
■COOKING SURFACES: Wash the oil and food contact surfaces with hot soapy water. These items include the Wire Basket, Oil Reservoir, Lid, and the Thermometer. The lid is removable for cleaning. Remove stubborn residue with a mild cleanser and a nylon cleaning pad. DO NOT use a commercial oven cleaner. Wipe dry with a soft, dry cloth.
■EXTERIOR SURFACES: Clean exterior surfaces with mild soap and hot water. Remove stubborn residue with a mild cleanser and a nylon cleaning pad. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. Wipe dry with a soft, dry cloth.
Drip Tray
The drip tray is located below the grill and should be cleaned periodically to prevent heavy buildup of debris.
NOTE: Allow the drip tray to cool before attempting to clean.
Important: Do not leave the grill outside during inclement weather unless it is covered (cover sold separately). Rain water can collect inside of the grill, the grill cart or the drip tray if left uncovered. If the drip tray is not cleaned after use and the grill is left uncovered, the drip tray will fill with water causing grease and water to spill into the grill cart. We recommend cleaning and storing the drip tray after
every use.
Igniter service:
The igniter for the fryer is a standard piezo igniter. It does not require a battery. See the parts list for replacement items for your fryer.
Cleaning the Burner:
WARNING
Spider’s nests or wasp’s mud inside the burner tube may cause fire at the valve. If a fire occurs, immediately turn off the gas supply at the L.P. cylinder valve (see representative illustration in Fig. 25).

Note:
Spiders and small insects can spin webs and build nests inside the burner tube. This especially occurs in late summer and fall before frost when spiders are most active. These nests can obstruct gas flow and cause a fire in and around the burner valve. Such a fire can cause operator injury and serious damage to the fryer. To help prevent a blockage and ensure full heat output, clean and inspect the burner tube often (once or twice a month). NOTE: Water or air pressure will not normally clear a spider web.
Steps For Cleaning the Burner:
1.The burner is accessed from below the fryer (Fig. 26). Using a screwdriver, remove the three screws holding the burner. Push the burner away from the valve until it clears the valve. Next, lower the burner and remove from the fryer.
2.Look inside end of burner tube for nests, webs or mud.
3.To remove an obstruction, use a flexible brush or bend a small hook on one end of a
4.Replace the burner in the operating position.
5.Make sure the burner tube is properly positioned over the valve orifice (Fig. 26).
