Cleaning and Maintenance 

 

7.1 General 

Build-up of grease, fat and carbon will impede effective heat transfer from the heat source to the 
cooking medium. Keeping the fryer clean will ensure it operates correctly and efficiently.  

7.2 During Service Cleaning 

1.

 

Skim the top of the oil frequently, particularly if breaded products or heavy batter is used.

 

2.

 

Check and inspect the oil. If the fryer is under heavy use and requires filtering, shut it down 
and filter the oil safely as instructed in Operation section 6.7. 

 

3.

 

Use the provided probing rod to remove any blockages or foreign matter in the drain valve.

 

7.3 After Service Cleaning 

1.

 

Drain and filter the oil and remove any matter left at the bottom of the tank with a nylon or 
wooden scraper. 

2.

 

Wipe off any oil from exterior surfaces and clean with a suitable cloth and cleaning agent. 

3.

 

Remove and wash all removable parts i.e. baskets, basket holder, drain extension and scrap 
arrestors.  

4.

 

The oil can be filtered and stored back into the fryer tank and covered with a night lid.  

7.4 Periodic Cleaning 

1.

 

Drain and completely empty any oil from the fryer tank. Scrape away any excess oil and 
debris using a nylon or wooden scraper.  

2.

 

Clean the tank with a good grade cleaner or fill it with hot water and a mild detergent. Bring 
to a rolling boil, turn the heat down and let the mixture stand until deposits and/ or carbon 
spots can be rubbed off with a brush. 

3.

 

Clean the exterior panels with a hot cloth or soft scrubbing brush and cleaning agent suitable 
for stainless steel. For stubborn or encrusted deposits, soak the area with the cleaning agent 
and hot water and use a wooden or nylon scraper to remove.

 

4.

 

Scrub the tank walls, then drain and rinse with clean water. 

5.

 

Refill the tank with clean water and boil again. 

6.

 

Drain, rinse and dry thoroughly.  

CAUTION 

 

Never use wash hoses on this appliance. The appliance is not waterproof and caution is 

advised when hosing down floors near this appliance. Appliance regulators are commonly 

connected near the bottom of the appliance and water in this area can create blockages. 

CAUTION 

 

Do not use steel wool, abrasive materials or caustic detergents on this appliance. Do not use 

metal knives, spatulas or any other metal utensils to scrape the fryer tank or stainless steel 

surfaces. Use protective clothing for cleaning to avoid dangerous contact with hot surfaces.
