35 SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 5: PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
5-2
If your fryer is not equipped with the built-in Filter Magic II Filtration System, the cooking oil or shortening
must be drained into another suitable container. FOR SAFE, CONVENIENT DRAINING AND DISPOSAL OF USED
COOKING OIL OR SHORTENING, FRYMASTER RECOMMENDS THE USE OF OUR SHORTENING DISPOSAL UNIT
(SDU). THE SDU IS AVAILABLE THROUGH YOUR LOCAL DISTRIBUTOR.
1. Ensure gas valve is OFF.
2. Screw the drainpipe (provided with your fryer) into the drain valve. Make sure the drainpipe is firmly
screwed into the drain valve and that the opening is pointing down.
3. Position a metal container with a sealable cover under the drainpipe. The metal container must be able
to withstand the heat of the cooking oil/shortening and hold hot liquids. If you intend to reuse the oil or
shortening, Frymaster recommends that our filter cone holder and filter cone be used when a filter ma-
chine is not available. If you are using a Frymaster filter cone holder, be sure that the cone holder rests
securely on the metal container.
4. Open the drain valve slowly to avoid splattering. If the drain valve becomes clogged with food parti-
cles, use the Fryer’s Friend (poker-like tool) to clear the blockage.
DANGER
DO NOT insert the tool into the drain from the front to unclog the valve. Hot
oil/shortening will rush out, creating an extreme hazard.
WARNING
DO NOT hammer on the drain valve. This will damage the drain valve ball and prevent
the valve from sealing securely, resulting in a leaky valve.
5. After draining the oil/shortening, clean all food particles and residual oil/shortening from the frypot. BE
CAREFUL, this material may still cause severe burns if it comes in contact with bare skin.
6. Close the drain valve securely and fill the frypot with a solution of detergent and water to the bottom
OIL-LEVEL line. (Frymaster recommends the use of Frymaster Boilout Solution, available through
your local distributor, for best results.)
7. Relight the pilot.
8. Set the thermostat to 280
0
F.
9. Slow the rate at which the frypot heats by occasionally turning the gas valve to pilot.
