5.1 Fryer Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services

DAILY CHECKS AND SERVICES

Inspect Fryer and Accessories for Damage

Look for loose or frayed wires and cords, leaks, foreign material in frypot or inside cabinet, and any other indications that the fryer and accessories are not ready and safe for operation.

Inspect the burner targets. Ensure the targets are in position above each orifice, and that the flame ignites approximately 2-½ inches (60 mm) above the orifice. The flame should strike the center of the target and be a rich blue color. Call your authorized service agency (ASA) if you see any problems.

Clean Fryer Cabinet Inside and Out

DANGER

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

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.

Clean inside the fryer cabinet with dry, clean cloth. Wipe all accessible metal surfaces and components to remove accumulations of oil and dust.

Clean the outside of the fryer cabinet with a clean, damp cloth soaked with dishwashing detergent, removing oil, dust, and lint from the fryer cabinet.

Filter Cooking Oil

The cooking oil used in your fryer should be filtered at least once every day (more often if the fryer is in constant use). Refer to Chapter 4, Filtration Instructions, for details.
