CLEANING / MAINTENANCE:

DAILY CLEANING:

Using a soft cloth and a mild detergent, wipe all external surfaces until they are free of debris. It is permissible to allow a thin film of cooking oil to remain on all exposed (NON PAINTED) surfaces. Be sure to clean the front panel and behind the door.

WEEKLY CLEANING:

Turn the gas valve knob to the PILOT position. The fryer should be completely drained of shortening. Fill the fry tank with water to above the minimum and below the maximum level lines. (For best results use Pitco Fryer Cleaner Part Number P6071397.) Turn the fryer ON as described in the "RUNNING THE FRYER UP TO THE OPERATING TEMPERATURE:" section. When the water boils, use a pair of insulated rubber gloves and the supplied cleaning brush (35C+ fryers are economy models and are not supplied with cleaning brush) to scrub the inside of the fry tank, taking care not to damage the thin capillary tubes inside the tank. When the fryer is clean, shut the fryer down as described in the "SHUTTING THE FRYERS DOWN FOR A SHORT PERIOD:" section. Drain the water into a container that is capable of withstanding boiling water. Rinse the inside of the tank with fresh water and dry with a soft cloth until all of the water is gone. This is a good time to perform the DAILY

CLEANING. The fryer is now ready to be refilled and used.

OPTIONS:

There are many options available on Pitco Frialator Fryers, these may include one or more of the following:

DIGITAL CONTROLS:

Machines with this option are completely controlled by the Digital Control. For programming instructions, refer to the Operating section of this manual.

COMPUTERS:

All machines manufactured with the Computer option have a Back Up Thermostat. This Thermostat is located behind the door of the fryer. When the computer receives an Open Probe signal from the Temperature Sensing Probe, the Computer will display PROBE and the Back Temperature control will automatically begin to control the oil temperature. For programming instructions, refer to the Operating section of this manual.

FLOAT SWITCH:

Take care to keep the Float Switch Ball free of any obstructions and debris as this will effect the way the fryer will operate. When cleaning the Float Ball, the Clip must be removed first to provide access to the Float Ball. When replacing the Float Ball make sure the Stamped letters are on the top. This option requires no other operator maintenance.

BASKET LIFTS:

On machines that are equipped with Computers or Digital Controls, the Basket Lifts will automatically run when a product button is pressed. When the Product Cook Time has expired the Basket Lifts will raise automatically.

UFM OR BUILT IN FILTER (F) OPERATION:

Filter paper should be changed when it is no longer effectively filtering the operating oil. For instructions on how to filter, please refer to the Operating section of this manual.
