Remove and discard any large debris inside the tank

Ensure the use of a high grade pyrometer or digital thermometer suitable for temperatures up to 380°F (182°C)

Place the thermometer in the oil above the tip of the fryer’s temperature probe within 1” (2.54 cm / 25.4 mm)

Ensure the thermometer does not touch the heat tube

Record the temperature reading from the thermometer

Record the controller’s setpoint temperature

Is the thermometer reading within ± 5°F (± 3°C) of the controller’s setpoint?

Disconnect the power supply before cleaning and servicing the appliance.

Ensure contents of the crumb catch and/or filter pan are emptied into a fireproof container at the end of the frying operation.

Detach the pickup tube from the filter pickup assembly by unscrewing it counterclockwise at the knurled fitting.

Slide off the filter paper clip and remove used filter paper from filter screen.

Re-attach filter pickup tube to the filter screen by screwing it clockwise into the threaded fitting in filter screen.
