Clean-out Mode

Smart Touch Clean-Out Mode

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.

Burn Risk

To avoid burns, use PPE when filtering oil or cleaning vat.

Slipping Hazard

To avoid personal injury, do not exceed filter pan capacity (1 vat or 2 split vats).To avoid overfilling the filter pan, drain only 1 vat at a time. Make sure the floor area around equipment is completely clean and dry to avoid slip risks.

NOTICE -

To avoid equipment damage, do not clean stainless steel with abrasive tools, abrasive cleaners or corrosive chemicals.

NOTICE -

To avoid component damage, do not use pressurized water or a steam cleaner to clean unit. After cleaning vat, ensure that all components are dry before adding new oil.
