CHAPTER 3: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
3-2
3.1.4 Clean Frypot and Heating Elements— Weekly
WARNING
NEVER operate the fryer(s) with an empty frypot. Irreparable damage to the heating
elements will result.
Boiling Out the Frypot:
See Section 2.5 for boil-out procedure. For controller operational procedures, consult the controller
manual that shipped fryer.
WARNING
DO NOT leave the fryer unattended during the boil-out process. If the solution foams
excessively and overflows, press the ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position
immediately. Allow solution to settle, and then continue with the boil-out process.
WARNING
Do not run water or boil-out solution through the filtration system. Doing so will
cause irreparable damage to the pump and all applicable warranties will be voided.
3.1.5 Draining and Manual Filtering: Non-Filtration Fryers
DANGER
Allow oil to cool to 100ºF (38ºC) or lower before draining into an appropriate
container for disposal.
If your fryer is not equipped with a built-in filtration system, the oil must be drained into another
suitable container. (For safe, convenient draining and disposal of used oil or shortening, Frymaster
recommends using the Frymaster Shortening Disposal Unit, SDU, available through your local
distributor.)
1. Turn the fryer power switch to the "OFF" position. 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.
2. Position a metal container under the drainpipe. The metal container must be able to withstand
the heat of the oil and have a sealing lid. If you intend to reuse the oil, Frymaster recommends
that a Frymaster filter cone holder and filter cone be used when a filter machine is not available.
If you are using a Frymaster filter cone holder, be sure that the cone holder rests securely on the
metal container.
3. Open the drain valve slowly to avoid splattering. If the drain valve becomes clogged with food
particles, use the Fryer’s Friend (clean-out rod) to clear the blockage.
