1. Do not dry fire the fryer; this will cause a leak. Dry firing is typically done after cleaning when the end user wants to dry
out the tank the "easy" way. It is a major cause of tank damage in the industry.
2. Do not drain the oil while it’s hot; wait until it cools before emptying. Rapid change in temperature causes stress
fractures and tears at the seams.
3. Do not use acidic cleaners; use only boil-out solution. Acid can cause erosion to metal and in due time can cause a leak
in tank.
4. Solid shortening must be liquefied before filling tank. The tank walls must have liquid against it in order to transfer heat
and avoid overheating and stressing the metal to the point of a tear.
5. Do not rinse off a hot tank with cold water. Always allow it to cool first.
6. Do not use sharp tools to clean the fryer.
7. Keep your tank clean. Check for debris buildup at the bottom of the tank, and never allow too much build-up to occur.

StAINLESS StEEL PARtS -
Do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleaners or powders to clean Stainless Steel surfaces. All
Stainless Steel parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water during the day and a Stainless Steel cleaner at end of the day.
To remove encrusted materials, soak in hot water to loosen the material - then use a wood or nylon scraper.
All water must be removed before adding oil or shortening. Not doing so can
result in splattering of hot oil causing severe burns and burn hazard.
WARNING
!
DO NOT DRY-FIRE; operating the unit without liquid is an extreme fire hazard
and will cause irreparable damage such as gas leaks, scorched surfaces and burnt
components.
