Cleaning and Maintenance
Weekly Cleaning
NOTE: If the fryer usage is very high, we recommend that the weekly cleaning procedure is carried
out on a more frequent basis.
1.
Proceed as for 'Daily Cleaning' to drain and filter the tank. Do not refill the tank with frying medium
until it has been cleaned as shown below.
2.
Fill the fryer with cold water to the normal fill level and add a high quality commercial cleaner that
has been specifically formulated for fryers.
All purpose cleaners are not recommended.
NOTE: Never use a caustic or lye solution, as this will leave a fat destroying film on the tank.
3.
Ensure that the elements are lowered into the tank. Switch ‘ON’ the power and heat the water to
approximately 80-90°C.
4.
Clean the fryer baskets at the same time by simply immersing them in the cleaning solution. Allow
the fryer to soak for 5-10 minutes or as directed on the cleaner instructions. Remove the baskets
and switch ‘OFF’ the fryer.
5.
Scrub the baskets and fryer tank lightly, but vigorously with a stiff nylon bristle brush to remove any
remaining deposits. DO NOT use a wire brush, as this will scratch the sides of the tank.
6.
Empty the fryer and rinse thoroughly with water. Use a 1 part vinegar to 15 parts water solution to
rinse the tank and neutralise any cleaner residue. Use a weaker solution of up to 1 part vinegar to
25 parts water if this proves unsuitable for the cleaner being used.
7.
Rinse the tank thoroughly with water, drain and dry.
8.
Refill the tank with new filtered frying medium to the correct level as shown in the Operation section
- ‘Filling the Tank(s)’.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
a. With the tank(s) drained, cleaned and dried as shown above, clean the exterior surfaces of the
fryer with hot water, a mild detergent solution and a soft cloth. Note that the gas control knobs
are a push fit onto the gas control valve spindles and can be removed to allow cleaning of the
front control panel.
b. Dry all components thoroughly with a dry cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.
c. To remove any discolouration, use an approved stainless steel cleaner or stainless steel wool.
Always rub in the direction of the grain.
Periodic Maintenance
NOTE: All maintenance operations should only be carried out by a qualified service person.
To achieve the best results cleaning must be regular and thorough and all controls and mechanical parts
should be checked and adjusted periodically by a qualified service person. If any small faults occur, have
them attended to promptly. Don't wait until they cause a complete breakdown. It is recommended that
the appliance is serviced every 6 months.
