Cleaning & Maintenance
GBF-70 Fryer
The following procedure describes cleaning Filter Pan and refreshing filter media. Typically, traditional disposable
filter paper is used, however as an alternative, GILES offers an optional sustainable stainless steel filter screen,
which is cleanable and reusable. This cleaning procedure should be performed after each boil‐out process and, at
a minimum, once per day of operation. Doing so will help to ensure optimum filter system performance.
1. Remove Filter Pan assembly from fryer as needed.
2. Remove the Cover ① and Crumb Screen Insert ②.
Dispose of any collected crumbs and clean both pieces using
a non‐detergent, non‐toxic degreasing cleaner, scrub with
brush as needed. Rinse with hot water spray and dry
thoroughly.
3. Using the provided Crumb Shovel, remove the majority of
filter sediment which is accumulated on the surface of the
filter media, particularly around the Hold‐down Frame ③.
This will help avoid allowing sediment to fall into the pan
bottom, get into the hoses and potentially cause the pump
to clog.
4. Turn the four (4) Locking Levers ④ on the Hold‐down
Frame ③ to disengage it from the pan. Remove frame,
clean with degreasing cleaner and rinse thoroughly ... dry
completely.
5. Grasp one end of the filter media ⑤ and carefully roll up,
remove and dispose ... avoid dropping filter sediment into
pan.
6. Remove the ribbed filter media Support Screen ⑥ from the
pan, clean with degreasing cleaner and rinse thoroughly ...
dry completely.
Wear thermal protection to protect hands from potentially hot parts.
5.03 Cleaning the Filter Pan & Refreshing Filter Media
17. Confirm that the drain valve has been returned to the [CLOSE] position.
18. Clean the filter pan and replace filter media as described in Section 5.03, Cleaning the Filter Pan & Refreshing
Filter Media.
19. Reposition filter pan in fryer cabinet (left‐hand unit on banked systems) and reconnect filter pan hose at the
fryer coupling. The connection must be tight and secure to ensure proper pump performance.
20. Refill fryer with fresh cooking oil as described in Section 4.02, Cooking Procedures and prepare to resume
cooking activities. NOTE: The cooking temperature setpoint in the controller must be reset before oil will heat
after refilling vat.
