CHAPTER 5: PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

5.1Cleaning the Fryer

5.1Cleaning the Fryer DANGER

The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles can spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.

5.1.1 Clean Inside and Outside of the Fryer Cabinet – Daily DANGER

Never attempt to clean the fryer during the frying process or when the frypot is filled with hot oil. If water comes in contact with oil heated to frying temperature, it will cause spattering of the oil, which can result in severe burns to nearby personnel.

5.1.2 Clean the Built-in Filtration System – Daily WARNING

Use a commercial-grade cleaner formulated to effectively clean and sanitize food-contact surfaces. Read the directions for use and precautionary statements before use. Particular attention must be paid to the concentration of cleaner and the length of time the cleaner remains on the food-contact surfaces.

5.1.1 Clean Inside and Outside of the Fryer Cabinet – Daily

Clean inside the fryer cabinet with a dry, clean cloth. Wipe all accessible metal surfaces and components to remove accumulated oil/shortening and dust.

Clean outside the fryer cabinet, with a clean, damp cloth soaked with dishwashing detergent. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth.

Manual background WARNING

Never drain water into the filter pan. Water will damage the filter pump.

There are no periodic preventive maintenance checks and services required for the FootPrint Pro Filtration System other than daily cleaning of the filter pan and associated components with a solution of hot water and detergent.

Immediately after each use, drain the Power Shower completely. If oil is leaking at the point where the Power Shower plugs into the frypot, verify the gasket on the connection fitting is present and in good condition. If you suspect blockage, unscrew the clean-out plugs at each corner of the frame. Place the frame in a pan of hot water for several minutes to melt any solidified oil or shortening. Use a long, narrow bottlebrush, hot water and detergent to clean inside the frame. If necessary, insert a straightened paper clip or similarly sized wire into the holes in the frame to remove any
