5.01 Boil-Out Procedure - Cleaning the Fry Vat, continued
11. Slowly turn the Drain Valve handle ⑧ to the [OPEN] position and drain the boil‐
out solution from vat. Carefully monitor the catch container and empty as
needed. After a portion of the solution has drained, close valve. Use provided
brushes to scrub & clean heating elements and vat walls. Re‐open drain valve
and continue scrubbing vat to loosen and remove more grease residue as it
drains.
12. After draining, rinse and flush vat thoroughly with clean hot water, while
continuing to clean with brushes. Empty the catch container as often
as needed, or continue to squeegee liquid to floor drain.
Take care not to damage temperature probes protruding through the
front wall of the cook vat.
If a floor drain is available in a suitable nearby location, slowly draining solution
onto floor and squeegeeing the liquid into drain is an acceptable alternative (may
require a helper).
IMPORTANT
: After draining and flushing, it is important that the oil plumbing be purged to remove as much
cleaning solution as possible. Failing to do so can cause contamination that will cause oil to “boil” and splatter
excessively when heated to cooking temperature.

PURGING:
13. Set Oil Return Valve of fryer being cleaned
to the [FILL POT] position and Pump Diverter
Valve to the [OIL RETURN] position (located in unit with filter pan on banked system).
14. Leave the Drain Valve Handle ⑧ in the [OPEN] position.
15. Place Pump Switch in [PUMP] position (located on unit with filter pan on banked system)
and allow the pump to run for 1 ‐ 2 minutes. During this time some water and/or boil‐out
residue may be discharged from the filter pan coupling or into the vat through the oil return fittings.
16. Be certain that all liquid is removed from vat and oil filtration piping. Use sanitized, dry, absorbent towels to
completely dry the vat and heating elements and properly dispose of the used boil‐out solution.
17. Return Drain Valve Handle ⑧ to the [CLOSE] position.
18. Clean filter pan and renew the filter media, see Section 6.02, Cleaning the Filter Pan & Refreshing Filter Media.
19. Replace filter pan cover, re‐position filter pan under unit and reconnect filter pan hose to the fryer coupling
(push in slip‐ring while inserting hose fitting); connection must be tight and secure.
20. IMPORTANT!
After the boil out program finishes, the controller will automatically reset the temperature setpoint to 50°F.
Before normal cooking activities are started, the setpoint must be re‐entered to a proper temperature for
cooking.
21. Return fryer to cooking activities as described in Section 5.02.
