CLEANING
WARNING: HOT OIL AND PARTS CAN CAUSE BURNS. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING,
CLEANING AND SERVICING THE FRYER.
DAILY
• Clean all exterior surfaces of your fryer at least once daily.
• Use a damp cloth with warm water and a mild soap or detergent.
• Rinse thoroughly, then polish with a soft, dry cloth.
• Keep the fryer exterior clean and free of accumulated grease to prevent stubborn stains from
forming. If regular cleaning is neglected, grease will be burned on and discolorations may form.
• Remove discolorations by washing with any detergent or soap and water.
• Use a self-soaping nonmetallic scouring pad for particularly stubborn discolorations.
• Always rub with the grain of the stainless steel.
• Do not use a scouring pad or harsh cleaners on the keypad or display area.
• Cleaning instructions for fryers equipped with Filter-In-A-Drawer are covered in a separate
instruction manual. Follow the instructions accordingly.
WEEKLY OR AS REQUIRED
1. Drain shortening.
NOTE: Fryers equipped with Filter-In-A-Drawer are covered in a separate instruction manual.
Follow the instructions for draining the tank.
2. Flush out scraps and sediment with a small amount of warm shortening.
3. Allow the tank to drain thoroughly.
4. Close the drain valve and fill the tank with a noncorrosive, grease-dissolving commercial cleaner.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Boil the solution for 15 to 20 minutes. If the cleaner is a water-based chemical, temperature may
be 190°F to 212°F (88°C to 100°C). On HGF fryers, set the thermostat as low as possible. Follow
the manufacturer’s instructions. Monitor boiling to prevent overflow.
NOTE: HGFD and HGFC are equipped with the BOIL feature, fill the tank with water and
cleaner and press BOIL. Fryer will automatically set the boil temperature to 192°F.
6. Drain the cleaning solution from the tank.
NOTE: On fryers equipped with Filter-In-A-Drawer, do not drain cleaning solution into the
pump or filter system. See Filter-In-A-Drawer manual for information on cleaning.
7. Close the drain valve and refill the tank with water.
8. Add 1 cup (235 mL) of vinegar to neutralize alkaline left by the cleaner.
9. Bring the solution to a boil, do not allow to boil over, and let stand for a few minutes.
