Preparing the Fryer for Operation
5 Preparing the Fryer for Operation
Your new fryer should be cleaned thoroughly before actual cooking takes place. To accomplish this, follow
the procedure described in the following Boil-Out Procedure section.
5 - 1 Fryer Boil-Out Procedure
This section describes the cleaning process for your fryer known as the “Boil-Out”. A “Boil-Out” should
be performed on the new equipment prior to actual cooking and every time shortening is removed from
the fryer for cleaning of the fry-kettle and refill with fresh shortening.
WARNING
Please perform the steps of this procedure as described to avoid possible equipment
damage, violation of warranty provisions or personal injury.
1. Always use thermal oven mitts during this procedure to protect skin from burns due to splashing of
hot liquids.
2. If you are performing a “Boil-Out” on a new fryer which DOES NOT contain shortening, go to Step 19,
otherwise proceed to Step 3.
3. If the shortening in the fryer is not in a heated state (at least 200°F) (93°C), go to Step 4. If the fryer
has been in operation and the shortening is in a heated state, place the Selector Switch in the “OFF”
position, allow the shortening to cool for 2 minutes before continuing and go to step 5.
4. If the shortening in the fryer is “cold”, that is at room temperature, you must first heat the shortening
briefly so it is liquid enough to be removed by the fryer’ s filter system. To do this, turn the main Power
Switch to “ON” and the Selector Switch to “COOK” Set the Controller temp. to 200°F (93°C) and heat
the oil until the orange heat indicator light goes out. Stir the shortening well to ensure it is fully
dissolved. Stirring may cause the orange heat light to come on again briefly. When the orange light
goes off again, place the Selector Switch in the “OFF” position and go to Step 5.
5. Ensure the Selector Switch is in the “OFF” position before proceeding.
WARNING
The next step of this procedure requires the shortening be drained from the fry-kettle
into the fryer’s Filter Pan. Failure to ensure the fryer’ s Selector Switch is in the “OFF”
position prior to draining may result in fire on the exposed Heating Elements. Always
ensure the Selector Switch is in the proper position.
6. Slowly open the T-Handle located on the drain beneath the fry-kettle. The drain is opened by turning it
counter-clockwise. Use care in opening this valve to avoid being splashed by hot oil. (You may find
the drain requires insertion of the smaller brush enclosed with the fryer in order to free the valve of
breading which may clog it. The brush should be inserted from above. Be careful not to puncture the
filter paper when using this brush).

7. Ensure the Diverter V alve is positioned so its handle points toward the operator.
8. Place Pump Switch in the “ON” position and allow shortening to return to the fry-kettle and out
through the drain. Use this opportunity to “Wash-Down” breading which has accumulated in the
bottom of fry-kettle. Use the larger pot brush supplied with the fryer to help “Wash-Down” this
material into the Filter-Pan below. Use care to avoid being splashed and burned by the hot oil.
