INITIAL CLEANING:

Before filling any Pitco Frialator with oil, it is advised that it be thoroughly cleaned to remove any foreign particles
from the cooking area. The machine should be filled with water to at least the minimum level. Add the sample
packet of Fryer Cleaner and set the temperature control between 90º and 100º C. Using the supplied brush and the
appropriate protective clothing, brush the inside of the fry tank until clean. When finished, turn the machine OFF
and drain, rinse the tank with fresh water and dry carefully. The machine should be filled with oil at this time and all
exposed surfaces coated with a small amount of cooking oil to prevent surface rust.

CASTERS:
On units with casters, move the fryer to the desired location and lock the wheels using the locking devices
on the front of the casters.
NOTE: Casters must be locked during fryer operation.

be kept in a nearby location that is uncluttered and easy to reach.
