Drain solution from fryer. 

Place a 5-gallon (19-liter) 
bucket under the fryer's drain. 
Open the fryer drain valve far 
enough to allow the solution 
to flow slowly into the 
bucket. Let 2 or 3 gallons of 
solution drain into the bucket. 
Close valve then change to an 
empty bucket and let 2 or 3 
gallons of solution drain into 
the bucket. You will need 
several buckets to drain the 
fryer completely. 
 
The cleaning solution should 
be discarded or re-used in 
another fryer within 3 hours. 
After 3 hours, discard the 
solution.  
 

 

The solution will be very hot. 
Avoid splashing. 

  

 

15 

Scrub inside of vat. 

Use the maple paddle with 
non scratch pad to scrub the 
side, front, back and top of 
vat. Remove any remaining 
deposits. McD Fryer Cleanser 
may be use also. 

  

 

16 

Fill vat with water. 

Fill vat with the appropriate 
amount of plain water. 

 

 

 

17 

Drain solution from vat. 

Place a 5-gallon (19-liter) 
bucket under the fryer's drain. 
Open the fryer drain valve far 
enough to allow the dirty so-
lution to flow slowly into the 
bucket. Discard the dirty solu-
tion. Place the bucket under 
the fryer drain again and open 
the valve completely.  
 
Do not place more than 2 or 3 
gallons of solution in a bucket 
at a time. 
 
Scrub any remaining deposits 
or carbon in the vat with a 
non-scratch pad. 
 

 

The solution will be very hot. 
Avoid splashing. 
 

 

Drain the solution only into 
buckets. Do not drain into the 
filter pan or oil removal cart. 

 

18 

Rinse and dry vat. 

Rinse the vat thoroughly with 
warm water (100°F or 38° C). 
Be sure to have a bucket un-
derneath the drain to catch 
rinse water. Repeat with more 
clean, warm water. Wipe the 
vat down with a clean, sani-
tized towel. Close the fryer 
drain valve. Thoroughly dry 
the inside of the vat with pa-
per towels. 

  

 

 

19 

Fill vat with oil. 

Fill the vat with the appropri-
ate amount of oil.
