PFE 590 and 592 Inspection and Planned Maintenance

Inspections and planned maintenance are regular equipment checks to detect issues early and ensure optimum performance of the fryer. The link below provides a checklist of the inspection steps you should complete. While all steps should be performed annually, we recommend restaurants with high-volume locations perform more frequent planned maintenance (i.e., quarterly, semi-annually, or other frequency). If you are unsure, please consult with your manager.
