Boil-Out Procedure
Boil-outs remove microscopic particles of carbon that build up on the walls of the fryer pot. To avoid
eventual carbon build-up, off flavors, and shortening breakdown, boil-outs should be done once a week on
each fryer following these procedures.
Always wear appropriate personal protection equipment during the boil-out
process to guard against possible injury from hot cleaning solution.
1. On the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch, touch the OFF button.
2. Drain the shortening into an adequate storage container. ( Allow the shortening to cool to room
temperature before attempting storage .)
3. CLOSE the drain and fill the fryer pot with HOT water to the shortening level fill mark. Do not
overfill by allowing the water level higher than the fill mark.
4. Add cleaner. BKI recommends BKI Cleaner (P/N LC0006) or equivalent.
5. Wash down the inside of the pot with the pot brush to loosen the sediment.
6. Set the temperature of the solution and heat it up as follows:
•

temperature control is set to hold the water at 190°F, and the controller displays
boil and the
elapsed time in minutes and seconds. Pressing and releasing the [5

elapsed time to 0:00. You can also view the current water temperature by pressing and
holding the
[1] and [6] buttons. To exit boil out mode press and hold the [4

to a temperature of 195º F. Once it reaches temperature it will beep 3 times, indicating the pot
should be scrubbed with the bushes, and the temperature will go to 190°F. The display will
change to CLEAN to allow the CLEAN function to be performed and count down the time set
in the system settings. At the end of the countdown the display will say CLEAN COMPLETE
TURN OFF and will beep until the fryer is turned off.
7. On the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch, touch the OFF button.
8. Scrub the inside of the fryer pot again.
9. Before draining the cleaning solution, remove the filter bag, screen and pipe connections from
the filter vat. This must be done before draining the cleaning solution. NEVER pump water or
detergent through the filter system.
10. After 15 minutes, slowly open the drain valve. Drain the solution into the filter vat and discard.
11. Rinse the pot with hot water, using the pot brush to remove remaining sediment, drain and discard.
