9.  Scrub the inside of the fryer pot again. 

 

10.  Before draining the cleaning solution, remove the filter bag, screen and pipe connections from 

the filter vat. This must be done before draining the cleaning solution. NEVER pump water or 
detergent through the filter system. 
 

11.  After 15 minutes, slowly open the drain valve. Drain the solution into the filter vat and discard.

the solution briefly. Leave in the pot for three to five minutes and discard. NOTE: Foaming of 
shortening after boil-outs is caused by failure to follow proper neutralizing procedures.
