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 to
25 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.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
a. With the tank(s) drained, cleaned and dried
as shown above, clean the exterior of the
fryer with hot water, a mild detergent solution
and a soft cloth. Note that the thermostat
control knob can be removed to allow
cleaning of the thermostat 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.
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.

4. Carefully open the drain valve to minimise
splashing, and take care not to overfill the
container.
5. Use a drain stick, to stir up any solid medium into
the top medium to melt it.
6. When the tank is empty, use a small vessel with a
handle as a ladle and dip into the hot frying
medium from receptacle and pour vigorously
around sides and bottom of the tank to wash
out crumbs and particles adhering to them.
Continue to dip and pour until all crumbs are
washed down and into the filter bag.
7. Open drain valve fully, check for any particles or
crumb residue lodged in the valve. Clean out
with a stiff nylon brush. Do not use wire brush or
metal rods as these damage the seating in the
valve and will cause valve leakage.
8. If the obstruction in the valve cannot be
removed with a brush, use a wooden probe.
9. Clean control panel with a damp cloth lightly
moistened with a solution of mild detergent and
water. Wipe dry with a clean dry cloth.
10. Once daily cleaning is completed, close the
valve and pour the frying medium back into the
tank and continue the days work. Straining
takes less time than frying one load of potatoes
and will pay dividends in food quality and saving
of frying medium.
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. Heat the water to approximately 80-90°C.
4. Clean the fryer baskets 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
turn OFF the main burner.
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
.
