This procedure should be
done for only one vat at a
time.

dure.
Make sure the basket support
rack is in place in the vat.

food or other sediment into
the drain valve, so they drain
out. Close the drain valve.

greaser carefully into the vat.
Use 2 gallons (8 liters) of
degreaser if you are cleaning
a full vat. Use 1 gallon (4
liters) of degreaser if you are
cleaning one side of a split
vat. Finish filling the vat with
hot water. Solution should be
1 inch above fill line.
