Cleaning the Vat

Burn Risk

To avoid burns, do not move the fryer while containing hot oil.

To avoid personal injury, do not move fryer or filter pan while containing hot oil. The filter pan must be as far back under fryer as it will go, and the cover in place. Be sure the hole in the cover lines up with the drain before opening the drain.

After the initial installation of the fryer, as well as before every change of oil, the vat should be thoroughly cleaned as follows:

  1. Turn the POWER/PUMP switch to OFF position, and unplug unit from wall receptacle.
  2. If hot oil is present in the vat, it must be drained by slowly pulling the drain handle out towards you.
  3. Close the drain valve and discard the oil.
  4. Raise lid, remove the racks and carrier from lid, and tilt lid back, so that the lid won’t interfere with cleaning.
  5. Refer to KFC’s Standard’s Library on cleaning instructions.

In the event of cleaning solution boil over, immediately turn the power switch to OFF. Do not try to contain by closing the fryer lid or severe burns could result.
