Clean Out Mode

Burn Risk

Do not close lid with water and/or cleaner in vat. Water under pressure becomes superheated. When lid is opened, escaping water and steam can result in severe burns.

To avoid personal injury, always wear PPE when cleaning vat and follow instructions on the cleaning solution.

Always wear chemical splash goggles or face shield and protective rubber gloves when cleaning the vat as the cleaning solution is high in alkaline. Avoid splashing or other contact of the solution with your eyes or skins. If solution comes in contact with your eyes rinse thoroughly with cool water and see a physician immediately.

To avoid personal injury from falling lid, fully engage tilt stop while cleaning and servicing lid. Lid may fall with force if tilt stop is not engaged.

NOTICE -

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

NOTICE -

To avoid equipment damage and ensure lid seal, do not strike tools on vat band or vat rim.

NOTICE -

To avoid damaging elements, do not scrape or scrub with abrasive tools or pads. Scratches on the elements may cause breading to stick to them and burn.

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.

After the initial installation of the fryer and during every oil change, the vat must be thoroughly cleaned. There are two ways to clean the vat using the clean-out mode, heated and cold soak. Operators can fill the vat with warm water and cleaning solution, enable heat, and then scrub the vat immediately (P.M.) or let it soak overnight cold and scrub it in the morning (A.M.). Cleaning the vat immediately is called a Heated Clean-Out and allowing the vat to soak overnight is called a Cold- Soak Clean-Out. The choice of which type of clean-out an operator uses is set during installation within the software settings. Refer to Drain and dispose of the oil before performing these procedures.

Note: Give extra attention to cleaning the fasteners on the heating element bracket to ensure that no build up remains in the pockets of the screws.

Setting the Clean-Out Mode Type

Operators can choose between a Heated and a Cold-Soak clean-out. Select a clean-out mode SP-22 through SP-24 in Special Programming.
