WARNING
Never drain water into the filter pan. Water will damage the filter pump.
There are no periodic preventive maintenance checks and services required for your FootPrint Pro
Filtration System other than daily cleaning of the filter pan with a solution of hot water and
detergent.
If you notice that the system is pumping slowly or not at all, verify that the filter pan screen is on the
bottom of the filter pan, with the paper on top of the screen. Verify that the two O-ring(s) on the
fitting at the right front of the filter pan are present and in good condition.
5.2.4 Clean Filter Pan, Detachable Parts and Accessories Daily
Carbonized oil will accumulate on the filter pan and detachable parts and accessories such as
baskets, sediment trays, or fish plates.
Wipe the filter pan and all detachable parts and accessories with a clean cloth dampened with a
detergent solution (or the parts can be run through a dishwasher). Rinse and thoroughly dry each
part. DO NOT use steel wool or abrasive pads to clean these parts. The scratches that result from
such scrubbing make subsequent cleanings more difficult.
WARNING
Use a commercial-grade cleaner formulated to effectively clean and sanitize food
contact surfaces. Read the directions for use and precautionary statements before
use. Particular attention must be paid to the concentration of cleaner and the
length of time the cleaner remains on the food-contact surfaces.

WEEKLY CHECKS AND SERVICE
5.3.1 Drain and Clean Frypot
DANGER
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with
water or oil before lighting the burners. Failure to do so will damage the frypot and
may cause a fire.
After the fryer has been in use for a period of time, a hard film of caramelized oil will form on the
inside of the frypot. This deposit must be periodically removed to maintain your fryer’s efficiency.
See the Clean and Filter procedure instructions on page 1-13 in the controller manual 819-6872 to
clean the frypot.
