Cleaning and Maintenance
Opening the Drain Valve
a. Lift the locking slide on the valve
handle (Fig 5) to release valve.
b. While holding the locking slide in the
withdrawn position, rotate the handle
anticlockwise (Fig 6) to open the
valve.
c. When valve is closed, the locking slide
will drop down over the locking valve
to prevent accidental opening of the
valve as shown in Fig.5.
4. Do not empty the total contents of the fryer 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
the 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. 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.
8. Continue to dip and pour until all crumbs are washed down and into filter bag.
9. Open 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 leakage. If obstruction cannot be removed with a soft brush, use a
wooden probe to dislodge obstruction.
10. Wipe all exterior panels with a cloth dampened with detergent and rinse off any residue with clean
warm water.
11. Clean 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 operation is completed, close drain valve and pour frying medium back into
the tank.
