2.2.3 Fryer Shut-Down
There are two shutdown modes of fryer operation, STANDBY and COMPLETE. The standby mode
removes the ability for the fryer's main burners to cycle. Complete shutdown turns off the gas supply
to the fryer. Shut down the fryer by:
STANDBY Turn the thermostat to OFF. Turn the gas valve clockwise to the
PILOT position. The cooker is now in Standby and can remain this
way for only brief periods of time. NEVER leave the cooker in
standby overnight.
COMPLETE To completely shut down the cooker, push and turn the gas valve
counterclockwise to the OFF position. The fryer is now completely
shut down and can be cleaned and filtered.
2.3 DAILY CLEANING
Your fryer should be cleaned every day to maintain peak performance and appearance. Perform the
procedures below every day.
a. Wipe up any shortening that spills onto the exterior of the fryer. This should be done with
a clean soft cloth while the oil is still warm.
b. Use warm water with a mild detergent to clean surfaces. Be careful not to get water in
the shortening and to remove any detergent from the fry tank.
c. Use a non-abrasive scouring powder or pad to clean stains if necessary.
d. Perform the weekly boil out cleaning of your fryer described in section 3.2.
