Decomissioning a Fryer

It should be understood, that with any long-term shutdown of equipment there is still some risk of filter pumps or check valves being stuck once the equipment is recommissioned. If either of these things occur, those components can be taken apart and cleaned by an authorized service agent. Only in select scenarios will a full replacement of parts be required. These issues would not impact the fryer ability to turn on and cook but will only impact the fryer’s ability to complete filtration.

For equipment shutdown, for long periods of time, Henny Penny recommendation is to:

Perform a Deep Clean (formally known as Boil-Out) on all vats.

NOTE: Make sure to purge the filter lines afterwards.
Inspect that each fry vat is clean and dry. DO NOT leave any oil in the vats.
Place vat covers on all vats.
Make sure to thoroughly clean and dry the filter pan, crumb catcher, filter ring, and filter screen. Reassemble the filter pan with a clean dry filter.
Remove and clean the JIB tube.
