Appendix A
Installation and Operation Manual
To drain oil safely and in the correct sequence, follow these guidelines:
Turn off the appliance and the power supply at the wall socket for electric appliances, and the on/off control
for gas appliances.
Allow the oil to cool, ideally for at least six hours, and check the temperature using a suitable probe ther
-
mometer before draining. Do not drain if the temperature is above 40 °C (104 °F).
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use the correct equipment (eg a detachable spout for the type
of fryer you are emptying), making sure to bring any equipment you need to the fryer before you start.
Depending on the type of fryer, drain the oil by drain valve, removable spout, lifting container or by tilting.
If the oil is too cold to drain easily, reheat it briefly and agitate with the fryer basket for no more than one
minute. Switch the appliance off and check the temperature again before emptying.
Using a filter, run the oil into a suitable metal-holding or heat-resistant hard, plastic container. These
containers will generally need carrying handles and a cover or lid. Before moving, make sure that the lid or
cover is secure.
Make sure the container is empty and big enough to take the volume of oil being drained at any time.
When you are draining large volumes of oil it is safer to drain off in smaller amounts. This avoids overfilling
the container and will reduce the chance of spillages when you move it. Smaller amounts will also be easier
to carry.
Place the container in a safe place where it cannot be contaminated with chemicals, water or foreign bodies.
Place the container on top of a drip tray to avoid any floor contamination.
Clean up any spillages immediately.
Make sure floor areas around equipment are completely clean and dry to avoid slip risks (see also the
page for Catering Information Sheet No 6
).
Other precautions
Make sure the design of the drain-off tap prevents it being turned on accidentally:
Mark clearly on it that the tap should not be touched.
Place warning signs near the tap.
If possible, remove the tap handle when the fryer is switched on.
A.8. Cleaning procedure
This section applies to all types of fryers.
Turn off the appliance, and the power supply at the wall socket for electric appliances and the on/off control
for gas appliances.
Wear suitable protective equipment, including eye protection (if appropriate).
Check that other activities will not be put at risk by the cleaning activity.
Check that the oil has been thoroughly drained and that there are no spillages that may cause slipping.
Remove loose debris from the internal surfaces.
Thoroughly wash all internal and external surfaces with suitable cleaning chemicals and check for any leaks.
