Safe Work Practices

Wear Safe Clothing Appropriate To Your Job

Always wear your insulated mitts when handling the fryer basket or
touch any hot metal surfaces. You received a pair of insulated mitts
with your fryer. If you lose or damage your mitts, you can buy new
ones at your local restaurant equipment supply store or from your
local BKI Distributor.

Always wear non-skid shoes when working around the fryer or any
other equipment that uses shortening. Never wear loose clothing
such as neckties or scarves while operating your fryer. Keep loose
hair tied back or in a hair net while operating your fryer.

Always wear appropriate personal protection equipment during the
filtering process to guard against possible injury from hot oil.
