ACCESSING FRYERS FOR SERVICING
WARNING
Moving a fryer filled with hot shortening may cause splattering of the hot shortening.
Extreme care must be exercised.
FILLING
Fill pan to level indicated on back of pan. The FRE-18 size fryer takes approximately
27 Litres of oil. The FRE-18T takes approximately 14 Litres of oil. The FRE-24 size
fryer takes 36 litres of oil.
It is a good idea to dip out several capfuls of oil from your pan each day and add
fresh oil to replace it. This keeps acid content down and the oil will last much longer.
The oil dipped out can be used for general purpose work and is not wasted. Do not
overfill your fryer pan. Overfilling causes “foam over” and messy frying conditions.
STRAINING EXCESS CRUMBS
Always drain fryer when cooking medium is warm and in liquid state. A cool fryer will
not drain thoroughly. Open drain valve fully and check for any particles or crumb
residue in valve seat. Clean out with wire brush and a cloth before closing.
Staining takes less time than cooking one load of potatoes and will pay dividends in
oil saving and food quality. Close valve and put fat back into pan to continue day’s
work.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
WARNING
USE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING & GLOVES
To clean pan after draining, fill with water. Add a good grade of cleaner in
accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. Turn fryer on and bring water to boil.
Boil long enough to loosen all “varnish” and “carbon”. Scrub inside of pan if
necessary using a long handled pot brush. Drain slowly so you can clean side as
they are exposed. Open drain valve fully and rinse pan with clean water. Be sure to
remove all traces of cleaner even a small amount will ruin the cooking medium. Wipe
inside of pan with a soft cloth.
CLEANING
Your fryer pan deserves the same care you give your cooking pots. It should be kept
clean and bright. Oil in deep well frying is a food and should be handled with care.
SERVICING
Any mechanical product no matter how well made will eventually require some
service attention. This equipment will need less service if given normal care and
frequent cleaning. Have the Electric Commission, appropriate Energy Commission or
your service man, check your equipment regularly. GOLDSTEIN fryers are
engineered for serviceability. Any part can be quickly and easily removed.
