Clean fryer filters.

Remove the fryer filters from the exhaust hood. Take the filters to the threecompartment-sink and soak them in KAY® SolidSense™ All Purpose Super Concentrate (APSC).

Scrape area behind fryer.

Use a putty knife to scrape off all soft grease and hard carbon from the area behind the fryer. Clean the following areas in this order: the parts of the stack you can reach; the back of the exhaust hood; the sides of the exhaust hood; and the fryer filter recess area.

On an electric fryer, next use the putty knife to scrape all soft grease and hard carbon from all sheet metal around the fryer, the standoff piece, and the fryer stand. Skip to step 8 after these areas are cleaned.

On a gas fryer, next use the putty knife to scrape all soft grease and hard carbon from these areas in this order: the flue restrictor, all sheet metal around fryer, the removable gravity blade, the seal angle, the stand-off piece, and the fryer stand.

On a gas fryer, be careful not to drop any soft grease or hard carbon into the fryer flue passage while cleaning.

Do not break the fire protection fusible link in the lower area of the stack. Breaking the link will activate the fire extinguishing system.
