Five Factors for FitFrying

Factor 5 - Establish the Right Maintenance

The right maintenance is the final step to 5 Factors for FitFrying®. It starts by knowing your frying equipment and oil maintenance requirements. Oil management is critical to maximizing oil life, maintaining healthy frying oil with consistent and high quality flavors.

Oil Maintenance:

Filter frying oil twice daily to remove crumbs.
Routine and thorough cleaning of the frypot is a must to extend oil life. A deep clean of the frypot (boil out) prior to adding fresh oil will ensure that oil-degrading residues are removed from the frypot.

Follow the ABCs of Fryer Preventive Maintenance to conduct daily filtration and routine boil outs of the frypot. Follow fryer equipment manufacturer’s literature for additional filtration and cleaning instructions.

Fryer Equipment Maintenance:

Read the accompanying literature from the fryer manufacturer and follow the recommended guidelines for operation and maintenance to ensure reliable and long lasting performance.
When fryer maintenance is needed, use authorized, factory-trained technicians, and be sure to use only approved replacement parts in order to achieve maximum fryer life.
In addition to normal and preventive fryer equipment maintenance, perform these steps at least annually for:
