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withdrawn position, rotate handle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