Maintenance Tips
-
Filter and skim oil daily: remove food particles and crumbs after each frying session to preserve oil quality and prevent degradation.
-
Wipe down fryer interior and exterior daily: after draining and filtering oil (when cool), clean vat walls, baskets, control panel, and exterior surfaces to remove grease and residue.
-
Perform a deep clean (“boil-out”) periodically: drain oil, fill the vat with water and approved cleaner, heat to loosen carbonized oil, scrub gently, rinse thoroughly, and refill.
-
Inspect burners, pilot flame, and thermostat regularly: ensure proper ignition, flame shape, temperature calibration, and check for clogged burner orifices.
-
Empty and clean grease or crumb trays after use to prevent buildup and reduce fire hazards.
-
Use non-abrasive cleaning tools and follow safety precautions: never clean while fryer is hot, and avoid harsh chemicals or steel scrapers.
-
Establish a maintenance schedule: daily, weekly, and periodic checks for oil quality, cleaning, and equipment inspection help ensure safe, efficient operation.
