Frymaster E4 operation manual

5.1.3Clean the Frypot and Heating Elements- Weekly

DANGER

Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled to the fill line with water, oil or shortening before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will result in irreparable damage to the elements and may cause a fire.

5.1.4Boiling Out the Frypot

Before the fryer is first used, it should be boiled out to ensure that residue from the manufacturing process has been eliminated. Also, after the fryer has been in use for a period of time, a hard film of caramelized oil will form on the inside of the frypot. This film should be periodically removed by following the boil out procedure that follows.

1.Before switching the fryer(s) ON, close the frypot drain valve(s), then fill the empty frypot with a mixture of cold water and detergent. Follow instructions on detergent container when mixing.

2.Press the fryer ON/OFF switch to the ON position. On fryers equipped with solid state (analog) controllers, set the melt switch to OFF.

3.For fryers equipped with Computer Magic III.5 computers, program the computer for boil-out as described in the separate Frymaster Fryer Controllers User’s Manual.

For fryers with digital controllers, set the temperature to 195°F (91°C) as described in the separate Frymaster Fryer Controllers User’s Manual.

For fryers with solid state (analog) controllers, set the temperature control knob to the lowest setting.

4.Simmer the solution for 45 minutes to one hour. Do not allow the water level to drop below the bottom oil-level line in the frypot during the boil-out operation. NOTE: For units with thermostat controllers, you must turn the fryer on and off periodically during this process to prevent the frypot from boiling over.

DANGER

Never leave the fryer unattended during the boil-out process. If the boil-out solution boils over, turn the fryer off immediately and let the solution cool for a few minutes before resuming the process.

5.Turn the fryer ON/OFF switch(s) to the OFF position.

6.Add two gallons (7.6 liters) of water. Drain out the solution and clean the frypot(s) thoroughly.

WARNING

Do not drain boil-out solution into a shortening disposal unit (SDU), a built-in filtration unit, or a portable filter unit. These units are not intended for this purpose, and will be damaged by the solution.
