Cleaning and Maintenance
Opening the Drain Valve
a. Lift locking slide on valve handle
(Fig 4) to release valve.
b. While holding locking slide in
withdrawn position, rotate handle
anticlockwise (Fig 5) to open valve.
c. When valve is closed, locking slide will
drop down over locking valve to
prevent accidental opening of valve as
shown in Fig.4.
4.
Do not empty total fryer contents into one large container, as this will be dangerous and may be
difficult, when lifted up, to pour hot oil back into tank.
5. Slip a muslin or other suitable filter bag over the end of the drain valve. Crumbs will be caught in
bag but frying medium will strain freely through into receptacle.
6. Open drain valve slowly to minimise splashing, and take care not to overfill container.
7. If necessary, use the drain stick (see Fig 6) to dislodge any blockages
in the drain.
8. When tank has been drained, use a ladle or small pan with a handle
and dip into hot frying medium from container and pour around sides
and bottom of tank to wash out crumbs and particles adhering to tank.
9. Rotate the elements to the vertical (Cleaning)
position (Fig 7) and continue to dip and pour
until all crumbs are washed down and into
filter bag.
10. Open drain valve fully and check for any
particles or crumb residue lodged in valve.
Clean out valve with a stiff nylon brush. Do
not use a wire brush, as this can damage
valve seating and will eventually lead to
leakage.
11. Rotate the elements back to the horizontal
(Operating) position (Fig 8).
12. Wipe all exterior panels with a cloth
dampened with detergent and rinse off any
residue with clean warm water.
13. Clean Control Panel with a damp cloth lightly moistened with a solution of water and a commercial
quality foodservice approved detergent.
14. Once the daily cleaning operation is completed, close drain valve and pour frying medium back into
fryer tank.
