Cleaning the Conveyor and
the Kettle
The conveyor and fryer kettle should be well
cleaned once per week for normal usage.
After cleaning, dry the conveyor, then return the
conveyor to the fryer and cover with shortening.
If left open to the air overnight, water trapped in
the chain may cause staining.
Step 1: Drain the shortening
WARNING
To avoid being burned or electrocuted,
disconnect the machine from the power
source before cleaning the fryer.
1.
Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2.
Unplug the depositor power cord.
3.
Let the shortening cool to 100
°

4.
Lift the depositor off the swing column, and
set to one side.
5.
Lift off the swing connecting rod that
extends to the base of the column supporting
the depositor.
6.
Drain the shortening, using the drain valve
under the fryer (if installed) or Filter-Flo
Siphon.
a.
If the fryer has a drain valve and an
EZMelt filtration system, open the drain
valve and empty the fryer kettle.
b.
If you have a Filter Flo Siphon,use this to
transfer the shortening into a large metal
bucket. (See the instructions in Appendix
A)
Step 2: Wash the kettle and
conveyor
1.
Pour hot water into the kettle, up to the level
of the chains. Add about 2 oz/59 ml of
trisodium phosphate (TSP) or other
appropriate cleaner.

conveyor and keep running for 15-20
minutes.
3.
Scrub the soiled parts of the kettle and
conveyor while the solution is under heat.
Use oven gloves for protection.
4.
Turn off the heater and disconnect the
machine from the power source.

a.
If the fryer has a drain valve, drain the
water into a large bucket.
DO NOT
drain the cleaning solution into the
EZMelt.
b.
If you have a Filter Flo Siphon, remove
its filter assembly. Then use the Filter
Flo to siphon the cleaning solution into
one or more large buckets. (For Filter
Flo instructions, see Appendix A.)
3.
Pour out the solution down a drain.
