Wendy's Henny Penny Computron 2000 Pressure Fryer/500,600: Every 3 to 6 Frying Cycles

Clean the frypot as follows each time the shortening is changed or filtered:

• Turn main power switch to the OFF position. Remove and clean the fry basket in soap and water. Rinse thoroughly

• Use a metal spatula to scrape any build-up from the sides of the frypot. Do not scrape heating element on electric units, or the curved portion of the gas frypot.

• Open the drain valve very slowly, half a turn at first and then slowly to the full open position. This will prevent excessive splashing of the hot shortening as it drains into the filter drain pan.

• As the shortening drains from the frypot, use fryer brushes (Henny Penny part number 12105 includes both brushes) to clean the side of the frypot and the heating elements (if electric unit). If the drain fills with breading, use the white brush to push the breading into the filter pan.

• When all of the shortening has drained, scrape or brush the sides and the bottom of the frypot.

• Pump all the shortening out of the filter pan and back into the frypot. Close lid during first surge of pumping.

• When the pump is pumping air only, the shortening in the frypot will appear to be boiling. Close the filter valve first and then move the main power switch from PUMP to OFF. This will keep the filter pump and lines from filling up with shortening.

• Check the level of the shortening if necessary, until it reaches the level indicator line on the rear wall of the frypot, or the top level indicator line on model 500s..

• After completing the filtering operation, empty and replace the condensation drain pan.

• If frying is to be continued at this time, move the main power switch back to the COOK position, and allow time for reheating of the shortening.

Rinse the frypot as follows:

• Close the drain valve.

• Open the filter valve.

• Lower lid and hold closed.

• Move the main power switch to the PUMP position. Carefully open the lid to see if the shortening is returning properly. Fill frypot 1/3 full, then turn off pump.

• Wash down and scrub the sides of the frypot. Use “L” brush to clean the heating elements.

• After the sides and bottom are cleaned, open the drain valve.

If an optional filter rinse hose is available on your fryer, the following cleaning procedure may be used.

• Attach the filter rinse hose with its quick disconnect fitting to the male fitting inside the door next to the filter valve handle. To do this, slide back the spring ring on the female side of the quick disconnect fitting and let it snap into place over the male half of the fitting.

• While holding the wooden handle, make sure the hose nozzle is pointed down into the bottom of the frypot. Pull the lid down over the nozzle, close the filter valve, and move the main power switch to the PUMP position. Hold nozzle carefully to avoid excessive splashing

• Rinse the frypot interior. Especially work on hard to clean areas, like the frypot bottom. On electric models clean around heating elements.

• After sufficient rinsing with shortening, close the drain valve.

• Turn the main power switch to the OFF position.

• Detach the hose. Raise the fitting end of hose high for a minute to allow the remaining shortening in the hose to drain into the frypot.
