the pump, and contaminate the cooking oil.
Clean the reservoir only when empty. The filter reservoir and
filter leaf should be cleaned after each day's filtration, or as
needed to return oil promptly to the kettle.
1. Remove the empty filter reservoir from the fryer. Clean the
filter reservoir and the filter leaf components using a hot
water rinse. Let dry overnite, or dry with a non-abrasive
cloth.
BURN HAZARD • FILTER RESERVOIR
When removing the filter reservoir after filtering
oil, wear insulated gloves, or allow it time to cool.
The hot oil will quickly heat the reservoir.
Serious burns could result from touching the hot
filter reservoir with bare hands.
2. Rinse the reservoir thoroughly with clean, warm water to
remove all residue. Be sure to flush out the filter reservoir
suction tube. Tip the filter reservoir upside down and allow
all water to drain from the reservoir and suction tube.
3. Dry all parts thoroughly with a non-abrasive cloth.
4. Assemble and reinstall the filter leaf and filter reservoir.
Refer to
Preparation Prior to Operation section in this manual.
As required, wash the exterior of the fryer with warm water, mild
soap or detergent, and a clean, non-abrasive cloth. Dry with a
clean, non-abrasive cloth.
Any components of the fryer that come in contact with the liquid
shortening should NOT be cleansed with soap or detergent. If
this does happen, rectify the situation by rinsing these parts with
a mild vinegar/water solution (2 teas. vinegar per 1 gal. water).
Then, rinse again thoroughly with clear water, and dry with a
clean, non-abrasive cloth.
