Wendy's Henny Penny Computron 2000 Pressure Fryer/500,600: Before Changing the Shortening Maintenance

Cleaning the Frypot

• Turn the main power switch to OFF, and unplug unit from the wall receptacle

• If hot shortening is present in the frypot, it must be drained by slowly opening the drain valve handle one half turn. Leave for a few minutes, then slowly open the valve to the full open position

• Close the drain valve and discard the shortening in the filter pan. Then install the filter drain pan under the fryer, leaving out the filter screen assembly

• Fill the frypot to the level indicator with hot water. Add 4 to 6 ounces of fryer cleaner (Henny Penny part number 12101) to the water and mix thoroughly. The fry basket can be placed inside frypot for cleaning

• Set the thermostat to 195ºF and turn main power switch to the POWER position

• Do not close lid with water and/or cleaner in frypot. water under pressure becomes super heated. When lid is opened, escaping water and steam will result in severe burns

• When the heat light goes out and solution temperature is at 195ºF, immediately move the main power switch to OFF

• Pour a cup of hot cleaning solution (taken from the frypot) into the condensation tower to keep it free and clean

• Let the cleaning solution stand for 15 to 20 minutes with the thermostat off

• Using the fryer brush (Henny Penny part number 12105), scrub the inside of the frypot, the lid liner, and around the countertop of the fryer

• After cleaning, turn off the main power switch. Open the drain valve and drain the cleaning solution from the frypot into the drain pan and discard

• Replace the empty drain pan, close the drain valve and refill the frypot with plain hot water to proper level

• Add approximately 8 ounces of distilled vinegar and bring the solution to 195º F.

• Using a clean brush, scrub the interior of the frypot and lid liner. this will neutralize the alkaline left by the cleaning compound

• Drain the vinegar rinse water and discard

• Rinse down the frypot, using clean hot water

• Thoroughly dry the drain pan, and the frypot interior

• Replace the clean filter assembly in the drain pan and install under fryer

• Refill the fryer with fresh shortening
