CHAPTER 5: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

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.

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.

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.
