DAILY CLEANING
Your appliance should be cleaned every day to maintain peak performance, proper sanitation and appearance.
Perform the following procedures daily.
a.
Wipe up any shortening/oil that spills onto the exterior of the appliance. This should be done with
a clean soft cloth while the shortening/oil is still warm.
DO NOT
spray or pressure wash the
appliance!
b.
Use warm water with a mild detergent to clean surfaces. Be careful not to get water into the
shortening/oil and be sure to completely remove any detergent from the fry tank.
c.
Use a non-abrasive scouring powder or pad to clean stains if necessary.
WARNING
Hot shortening/oil and water, if mixed react violently. Ensure that your filter pan and
components are thoroughly and completely dry before attempting to filter.
WEEKLY CLEANING
The appliance should be thoroughly cleaned AT LEAST once a week. This should include a thorough wipe down
of the entire appliance with a rag and mild detergent.
DO NOT
spray or pressure wash the appliance!
Boil Out Procedure
The appliance should be boiled out AT LEAST once a week to remove food debris and shortening/oil build up.
You will need a container large enough to hold 1 ½ times the shortening/oil in the tank. Refer to the following
procedure for weekly boil out.
WARNING
Completely shut the appliance down when the shortening/oil is being drained and
replaced with water. This will prevent the burners from energizing while the tank is empty.
WARNING
At operating temperatures, the shortening/oil in the appliance is VERY HOT and can cause
severe burns. Do not let the hot shortening/oil touch your skin or clothing. ALWAYS wear
insulated, shortening/oil proof gloves, protective clothing and eyewear when working on a
hot appliance.
For models with Gas thermostat refer to the following instructions:
a.
Drain the shortening/oil from the appliance and discard or save for reuse. Remove the basket
screen. Close the drain valve and fill the tank with warm water and non-caustic detergent. For
best results, use Anets Cleaner. A sample packet is included with your new appliance.
b.
Restart the appliance as described in this manual and set the thermostat to 200°F (93°C). Bring
the water to a slow boil. DO NOT allow the water to boil excessively as this will cause excessive
foaming and boil over.
c.
Allow the appliance to soak for 20 minutes to soften shortening/oil deposits. Use the cleaning
brush to scrub and remove any residue from the tank walls and foam zone.
d.
When finished drain the water and wipe the tank dry with a soft clean cloth.
e.
Ensure that the drain valve is closed and replace the basket screen.
f.
You may now refill the tank with shortening /oil per the filling instructions in this manual.
