4. Attach oil hose and drain cooking oil from vat into containers for dis-
posal. Have empty containers handy for proper disposal of used
cooking oil. A rendering company can help with proper disposal.
5. Remove basket lift, oil vat and heater module (picture right). Spray
parts with oven cleaner, enclose with plastic bag for at least one hour
or leave overnight if possible. Wash in soap and hot water and rinse
well in hot water. Rinse parts in a solution of: 1 part white vinegar [5%
acetic acid] and 2 parts water.
The vinegar rinse is very important.
It neutralizes soap residue that causes oil breakdown foaming. Soap
residue turns oil dark and reduces its performance significantly. Clear
water rinse parts.
Clean the male and female terminals on connec-
tors with rubbing alcohol and cotton swab.
