QUARTERLY CHECKS AND SERVICES

Drain and Clean Frypot

During normal usage of your fryer, a deposit of carbonized cooking oil will gradually form on the inside of the frypot. This deposit must be periodically removed to maintain your fryer’s efficiency.

DANGER

Allow oil to cool to 100°F (38°C) or lower before draining to an appropriate container

for disposal.

For safe, convenient draining and disposal of used cooking oil, Frymaster recommends the use of our shortening disposal unit (SDU). The SDU is available through your local distributor.

Clean Detachable Parts and Accessories

As with the frypot, a deposit of carbonized oil will accumulate on detachable parts and accessories such as baskets.

Wipe all detachable parts and accessories with a clean cloth dampened with a detergent solution. Rinse and thoroughly dry each part.

Check Calibration of Thermostat Temperature Control Knob

1.Ensure frypot is filled with cooking oil.

2.Set the temperature control knob to frying temperature.

3.Let the burner cycle on and off automatically three times in order for the cooking oil temperature to become uniform. If necessary, stir to get all shortening in the bottom of the frypot melted.

4.Insert a good-grade thermometer or pyrometer into the oil, with the end touching the fryer temperature probe.

5.When the burner starts for the fourth time, the thermometer/pyrometer reading should be within

± 5ºF (2ºC) of the temperature knob setting. If not, calibrate as follows:

a.Loosen the setscrew in the temperature control knob until the knob rotates freely on the shaft.

b.Rotate the knob until the index line on the knob is aligned with the marking that corresponds to the thermometer or pyrometer reading.
