Frying breaded food requires frequent filtering. Taste the cold shortening every day for flavor. Watch the shortening for foaming during the frying cycle. Discard the shorten- ing as soon as it shows sign of foaming. Clean the cookpot as follows each time the shortening is changed or filtered.
1.Turn the main switch to the OFF position. Remove and clean the fry basket in soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.
Best results are obtained when shortening is filtered at the normal frying temperature.
2.Use a metal spatula to scrape any build up from the sides of the cookpot. Do not scrape heating elements on elec- tric models, or the slope on the gas models.
The filter pan must be in the proper position beneath the drain valve. This will prevent the splashing of shortening on the floor. This splashing could result in severe burns.
3.Open door(s) under unit and open the drain valve very slowly, half a turn at first and then slowly to the full open position. This will prevent excessive splashing of the hot shortening as it drains into the filter drain pan.
4.As the shortening drains from the cookpot, use brushes to scrape and clean the side of the cookpot and the heating elements of the electric model. If the drain fills with breading, use straight white brush to push excess breading into the drain pan.
5.When all of the shortening has drained, scrape or brush the sides and the bottom of the cookpot.
6.Rinse the cookpot as follows:
a.Close the drain valve.
b.Position return line over empty cookpot.
c.Move the pump switch to the pump position.
d.Fill the cookpot l/3 full, then turn off pump.
