PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
3. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
3.1. DAILY PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Performing the preventative maintenance steps below on a daily basis will keep your equipment safe and at peak performance. During the cooking process, oil/shortening may spill and splatter and requires immediate attention. Furthermore, during the cooking process, particles, crumbs and crackling collect inside the cooker tank reducing product quality and decreasing oil/shortening life. If you are producing high quantities of fried food and/or frying heavily battered food, it may be necessary to perform these steps more then once a day.
WARNING
Filtering may require contact with hot surfaces. Wear oil proof insulated gloves while performing any filtering operation. Serious injury could result from direct contact with hot surfaces and/or oil.
