Cleaning
Painted Finishes
Establish a regular cleaning schedule. Any spills should be
wiped off immediately.
The fryer should be permitted to cool down before cleaning
exterior surfaces.
1. Wipe exposed, cleanable surface when cool with a mild
detergent and hot water. Stubborn residue spots may be
removed with a light weight non metallic scouring pad.
Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
2. Stainless steel should be cleaned using a mild detergent,
a soft cloth and hot water. If necessary to use a
nonmetallic scouring pad, always rub in the direction of
the grain in the metal to prevent scratching. Use a water
based stainless cleaner (commercially available), if you
want a high shine.
Stainless Steel
For routine cleaning just wash with a hot water and
detergent solution. Wash just a small area at a time or the
water will evaporate leaving the chemicals behind causing
streaking. Rinse the washed area with a clean sponge dipped
in a sanitizing solution and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth
before it can dry. Use a paste (of water and a mild scouring
powder) if you have to, but never rub against the grain.
All stainless steel has been polished in one direction. Rub
with the polish lines to preserve the original finish. Then
thoroughly rinse as before. To prevent fingerprints there
are several stainless steel polishes on the market that leave
an oily or waxy film. Do not use on surfaces that will be in
contact with food.
Stainless steel may discolor if overheated. These stains can
usually be removed by vigorous rubbing with a scouring
powder paste. Use only stainless steel, wood or plastic tools
if necessary to scrape off heavy deposits of grease and oil. Do
not use ordinary steel scrapers or knives as particles of the
iron may become imbedded and rust. STEEL WOOL SHOULD
NEVER BE USED. Either a typical bleach solution or hot water
can be used to sanitize stainless steel without harm.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Continued
Draining and Filtering Instructions
The draining and filtering of fryer compound must be
accomplished with care to avoid the possibility of a burn
resulting from careless handling.
Filtering: Turn fryer off. If you are using a filter other than the
GARLAND Filter Quick, consult the filtering manufacturers’
operation instructions for recommended filtering procedure.
Instructions for use of the filter Quick are included in the
Owners Manual shipped with your filter Quick unit.
The following is a recommended procedure to drain and
filter your compound when no filter machine is available:
1. Screw the drain pipe provided with your fryer into the
drain valve. Assure that you have firmly attached the
drain pipe and that the curved end portion is pointing
out.
2. Position the stock pot or other container under the
drain pipe. The stock pot or other container must be of
sufficient design to withstand the heat generated by the
hot compound and must also be able to hold liquids. It is
recommended that where no filter machine is available,
the filter cone holder and filter cones be used. Be sure the
filter cone holder is resting securely on the stock pot or
other container.
3. Open the drain valve slowly to avoid splattering.
However, since splattering may occur anyway, extreme
caution should always be employed.
4. If the valve becomes clogged with food particles you
may wish to use a poker-like tool. The tool must be used
from the inside of the frypot only and caution should be
employed that the tool is gripped by the user as far as
possible from the hot fryer compound in the frypot. Do
not hammer on the drain valve as damage to the ball
inside the valve will cause it to leak. NEVER use this tool
or any other tool to unclog the valve from the front of the
valve. If the clog comes loose, hot compound could pour
out rapidly so beware of splattering in this event.
5. We recommend that the drained compound be allowed
to cool to 100°F or lower before transporting the stock
pot or other container, removing the drainpipe, or
removing the filter cone holder and filter cone
