MAINTENANCE
10. Set the thermostat to 280ºF (138ºC).
11. Simmer the solution for 1 hour.
WARNING
Never leave the fryer unattended during this process. If the solution overflows, turn the
gas valve off immediately.
12. After the solution has simmered for 1 hour, turn the gas valve to the OFF position and allow
the solution to cool.
13. Drain the solution into a suitable container
(NOT the Shortening Disposal Unit)
and tho
roughly wipe the frypot with a clean towel.
14. Close the drain valve and fill the frypot with clean, cold water and drain. Repeat the rinse
process again, and then wipe frypot with a clean, dry towel.
15. Refill with shortening.
DANGER
Ensure that the frypot is completely free of water before filling with cooking oil or short-
ening. When the oil or shortening is heated to cooking temperature, water in the frypot
will cause splattering.
Clean Detachable Parts and Accessories
As with the frypot, a deposit of carbonized oil/shortening will accumulate on detachable parts
and accessories such as baskets, sediment trays.
Wipe all detachable parts and accessories with a clean cloth dampened with a detergent
solution. (Frymaster recommends the use of Frymaster Fryer ‘N’ Griddle Cleaner, available
through your local distributor, for best results.) Rinse and thoroughly dry each part.
Check Calibration of Thermostat Knob
1. Set the temperature control knob to frying temperature.
2. Let the burner cycle on and off automatically three times in order for the cooking oil/shorten-
ing temperature to become uniform. If necessary, stir to get all shortening in the bottom of the
frypot melted.
3. Insert a good-grade thermometer or pyrometer probe into the oil/shortening, with the end
touching the fryer temperature-sensing probe.
