5. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
5.1 GENERAL:
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts
longer when properly maintained and cleaned.
The fryer must be kept clean during the
workday and thoroughly cleaned at the end of
each day.
5.2 DAILY:
Wash all removable parts. Clean all exterior
surfaces of the body. Do not use cleansers,
steel wool or any other abrasives on the
stainless steel. Filter the cooking oil and
replace if necessary. Filter oil more often
under heavy conditions.
5.3 WEEKLY:
a. Completely drain the fryer vessel into
either the filter or a steel container. Do
not use a plastic bucket or glass
container.
b. Clean the vessel with a good grade of
cleaner or hot water and a strong
detergent.
c. Close the drain valve and refill with
either the cleaning solution or water
and detergent.
d. Follow the Boil-Out procedures. Bring
to a simmer, then turn the heat down
and let the mixture stand until deposits
and/or carbon spots can be rubbed off
with a brush.
e. Scrub tank walls and bottom, then
drain vessel and rinse in clear water.
f. Refill with clear water, set operating
thermostat to 104°C and simmer again.
g. Once cleaning is complete, turn
temperature controller “OFF”, drain,
rinse and dry thoroughly.
h. Refill with cooking oil or frying
compound as directed in this manual.
5.4 PERIODIC:
The fryer should be checked and adjusted
periodically by qualified service personnel as
part of a regular kitchen maintenance program.
5.5 STAINLESS STEEL:
All stainless steel fryer body parts should be
wiped regularly with hot, soapy water during
the day and with a liquid cleaner designed for
this material at the end of the day.
a. Do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths,
cleansers or powders!
b. Do not use
a metal knife, spatula or any
other metal tool to scrape stainless
steel! Scratches are almost impossible
to remove.
c. If it is necessary to scrape the stainless
steel to remove any encrusted
materials, soak the area first to loosen
the material, then use a wood or nylon
scraper only.
WARNING!
DO NOT LET WATER SPLASH
INTO THE TANK OF HOT OIL.
IT WILL SPLATTER AND CAN
CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
CAUTION
Do not drain water into the filter. Water
will damage the filter pump and void the
Dean warranty.
CAUTION
Do not let water boil down to the point
that elements are exposed. This will
damage the heating elements.
