• Filter shortening at least once a day.
Refer to the instructions provided with
your filtering equipment.
• A cold fryer will not drain properly. Always
filter shortening between 250°F and
350°F. The shortening under the heat
pipes in the cold zone area will remain
hard if the heat is on for only a few
minutes. If necessary, use the clean-out
rod to carefully stir the hard shortening to
an area above the cold zone where it will
melt. Use the tank brush to help clear
sides and tubes of debris.

Daily
Clean your fryer regularly with the tank brush
along with a damp cloth, and polish with a soft
dry cloth. If regular cleaning is neglected, grease
will be burned on and discolorations may form.
Fingerprints are sometimes a problem on highly
polished surfaces of stainless steel. They can
be minimized by applying a cleaner that will
leave a thin oily or waxy film.
• Clean all exterior surfaces of your fryer at
least once daily.
• Use a damp cloth with warm water and a
mild soap or detergent.
Note: Do not use chlorine or sulfate/sulfide
cleaners.
• Rinse thoroughly, then polish with a soft,
dry cloth.
• Keep the fryer exterior clean and free of
accumulated grease to prevent stubborn
stains from forming. If regular cleaning is
neglected, grease will become burned on
and discolorations may form.
• Remove discolorations by washing with
any detergent or soap and water.
• Use a self-soaping, nonmetallic scouring
pad for particularly stubborn discolorations.
• Always rub with the grain of the stainless
steel.
• Do not use a metallic scouring pad or
harsh cleaners.
