Cleaning 3
For your safety, observe the following warnings
throughout the entire cleaning process.
WARNING
Thoroughly clean and dry the floor if
shortening, water, or other materials are
spilled. Materials spilled on the floor can
cause serious injury or loss of life.
WARNING
To avoid electrocuting yourself or
damaging the machine, never allow water,
steam, shortening, cleaning solution, or any
other liquid to enter the electrical box or
the heater head.
WARNING
To avoid being burned in an explosion,
never use any flammable materials for
cleaning.
Cleaning the Exterior
Surfaces
1. Clean the polished and painted surfaces of
the fryer with a soft, damp cloth. Use a non-
abrasive cleaner to remove any
discoloration.
2. Polish these surfaces with a soft, dry cloth.
Cleaning the Frying Screen
1. In a sink or a dishwasher, wash the frying
screen using warm water and mild detergent.
Do not use an abrasive cleaner or scraper.
2. Rinse the frying screen in clear water.
3. Dry the frying screen thoroughly, using a
soft cloth, before you use it again.
WARNING
Dry the frying screen thoroughly.
Moisture causes hot shortening to spatter,
which may cause serious injury.
4. Check the frying screen to make sure no
metal is flaking off of it. If the screen is
flaking, replace it immediately, so you do
not get metal particles in your product.
Cleaning the Kettle
There are four basic steps to cleaning the kettle:
removing the shortening, washing, rinsing, and
drying. You must perform all four steps and
perform them in the order listed.
Removing the Shortening
WARNING
To avoid being burned or electrocuted,
disconnect the fryer from the power source
before cleaning it.
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. Let the shortening cool to 100 F/38 C.
