MAINTENANCE
Periodic cleaning is necessary to remove carbonization from the elements and frypot.
Frypot may be cleaned by the method described at right, or with a commercial frypot cleaner. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's directions.
Before cleaning, ALWAYS:
•Unplug the fryer and allow to cool.
•Drain the oil and wipe out the frypot.
PERIODIC CLEANING
Add 1/2 cup of granulated dishwasher detergent to frypot. Fill with water to the MAX OIL line.
Lower the element into the frypot and set the control knob to 225ºF
Boil the mixture for five minutes. Turn the control knob to OFF. Allow the mixture to set in the frypot overnight.
After the soak period, raise the elements and remove any remaining carbonization with a stiff bristle brush. Be careful that the capillary tubes of the thermobulbs are not moved or damaged during cleaning.
Drain the frypot and wash with warm water and mild detergent.
Reinstall the frypot in the fryer. Add 1 quart of vinegar, then fill to the MAX OIL line with cold water.
Lower the elements into the vinegar solution. Allow to set for 15 minutes.
Drain the frypot and rinse with clean water. Dry the frypot and elements thoroughly before returning the fryer to operation.
IMPORTANT: Nickel plated frypot must be dried completely in order to prevent rusting, and to eliminate water contamination of the cooking oil.
