3.0 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE CHECK
Regular servicing of the appliance should be undertaken to ensure correct operation, it is functioning
as intended, and safe to use. We recommend servicing after 2,500 hours of use, or annually,
whichever comes
first.
Any maintenance schedule should be carried out in accordance with SFG20 Maintenance Schedules
.
Should any issues with the integrity of the components be identified these should be replaced. If the
appliance is not considered safe the unit should be removed from service and the responsible person
advised why the unit is not safe to use and what remedial action is needed. Contents of the
maintenance schedule should be agreed with the maintenance provider.
When removing heavy items to aid cleaning or maintenance particular care should be taken.
A manual handling risk assessment is the best way to determine the level of risk to anyone
using or maintaining this equipment. To help with such an evaluation we have included the
weights of individual components that may present significant risk.
For further help and information on manual handling and associated risk assessment we
would refer you to you the Health and Safety Executive website;
ref: manual handling at work INDG143. International customers should default to the health
and safety guidelines provided by your government body.
The cleaning of fryers or other products that use hot oil present significant risks to end users
and particular care should be taken. Cold water and hot oil for example are an explosive mix
and should be avoided at all costs.
