Boil the mixture for five minutes. Turn the control knob to OFF. Allow the
mixture to set in the frypot overnight.
After the soak period, raise the elements and remove any remaining
carbonization with a stiff bristle brush. Be careful that the capillary tubes
of the thermobulbs are not moved or damaged during cleaning.
Drain the frypot and wash with warm water and mild detergent.
Reinstall the frypot in the fryer. Add 1 quart of vinegar, then fill to the MAX
OIL line with cold water.
Lower the elements into the vinegar solution. Allow to set for 15 minutes.
