During normal usage of your fryer, a deposit of carbonized oil will gradually form on the inside of
the frypot. This film should be periodically removed by following the Clean (boil-out) procedure.
Refer to sections 2.3.10 and 2.3.11 of the FQ4000 Controller Operation Manual
)
for specific details on
setting up the controller for clean (boil-out) operation.
DANGER
Allow oil to cool to 100ºF (38ºC) or lower before draining to an appropriate container for
disposal.
WARNING
Never leave the fryer unattended during this process. If the solution overflows, press
the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position immediately.
DANGER
Ensure that the frypot is completely free of water before filling with oil. When the oil is
heated to cooking temperature, water in the frypot will cause splattering.
4.4.2 Pre-filter Maintenance - Monthly
The pre-filter requires regular maintenance. Every 30 days, or
more frequently if the flow of oil slows, remove the cap and clean
the attached screen.
1.
Wearing protective gloves
use the supplied wrench to remove the cap from the pre-filter
(Figure 2)
.
2. Use a small brush to clear debris from the attached screen
(Figure 3)
.
3. Clean under a water tap and thoroughly dry.
4. Return the cap to the pre-filter housing and
tighten with the attached wrench
, ensuring the
pre-filter is tight. If the cap is not tight, air will leak around the pre-filter and slow the return.
4.4.3 Check FQ4000 Controller Set Point Accuracy - Monthly
1. Insert a good-grade thermometer or pyrometer probe into the oil, with the end touching the
fryer temperature-sensing probe.
2. When the controller product icons are visible (indicating that the frypot contents are within the
cooking range), press the
button once to display the temperature and setpoint of the oil
as sensed by the temperature probe.
