Cleaning and Maintenance
Correct care and maintenance will keep your
appliance operating smoothly. Clean regularly
as determined by the amount of use. NOTE:
Clean the entire appliance each year and
tighten all hardware on a regular basis (1-2
times a year or more depending on usage).
Cleaning should be done where detergents
won’t harm patio, lawn, or the like.
Suggested Cleaning Materials
• Mild dish washing liquid detergent
• Wire brush
• Nylon cleaning pad
• Hot water
• Paper clip
• Soft brass bristled brush
Component Cleaning:
• BURNER: Wire brush loose corrosion from
burner exterior. Clean clogged gas port
holes with an opened paper clip. Replace
corroded or damaged burners that would
emit excess gas.
• COOKING SURFACES, POTS AND PANS:
Clean the cooking surface with soapy water
and a nylon cleaning pad.
• After appliance has cooled, wipe areas
where paint and finish have burned off to
minimize rusting.
Using a Thermometer
Prior to lighting, position thermometer clip
so that at least 1/2” of thermometer tip is
submerged in oil. Reposition thermometer
as necessary to cook. Continue to use
thermometer until burner is turned off.
If Frying:
• Follow instructions provided by the
appliance manufacturer.
• When cooking with oil or grease, a
thermometer must be used.
• Introduction of water from any source into
the cooking oil or grease may cause overflow
and severe burns from hot oil and water
splatter. When frying with oil and grease, all
food products MUST be completely thawed
and towel dried to remove water before
being immersed in the fryer.
• Be sure thermometer is in good working
condition. To check the thermometer, insert
it into a pot of boiling water and ensuring
that it registers approximately 212°F ±
20°F (100°C ± 10°C). If it does not function
properly, obtain a replacement thermometer
specified by the manufacturer before using
the appliance.
• When frying with oil or grease, do not use a
pot deeper than 6”(132mm)
• Do not over fill the pot with cooking liquid.
Never fill appliance more than half full of
cooking liquid or past the maximum fill line (a
permanent marking on fryer).
• If cooking liquid has spilled and ignited,
do not attempt to extinguish with water.
Immediately turn gas supply OFF at the
supply cylinder and:
1. Extinguish flames using a BC type fire
extinguisher as recommended by the
fryer manufacturer; or
2. Smother flames with dirt or sand.
3. In case there is a fire, call the local fire
department or dial 911.
4. To avoid accidental burns from burner
flame or hot cooking liquid, turn the
burner off before inserting or removing
food from the fryer.
• When removing food from the fryer, be
sure to avoid burns from hot cooking
liquid drippings.
