Boilers

Can I use the boiler as a fryer?

Unfortunately, the LoCo boiler cannot be used as a fryer. Even if the pot was to be switched to a more suitable pot, it would remain unsafe to use the burners and stand from the Boil Kit as aturkey fryer. The boiling unit does not have the SmartTemp heat sensor on it to keep the oil from overheating, creating a dangerous cooking environment.

How should I clean my boiler?

Suggested cleaning materials:

• Warm water

• Mild dishwashing liquid detergent

• Soft, nylon cleaning pad

Instructions:

***Before cleaning turn off the boiler at the regulator / manual valve then at the gas cylinder.

Check that there is no flame, gas smell and the valves are in off position. Next, make sure unit is properly disconnected from propane tank prior to any cleaning.

• Before removing the water, let the water / unit completely cool down to 115˚F or 46˚C. As a precaution use protective heat resistant gloves. Drain water from Boiling Kit or Cart Boiler. Any remaining water can be scooped from the boiler and placed in an approved container.

• Everything that was in contact with the food must be hand washed with warm soapy water and nylon pad. If the boiler has black soot cooked on to the outside finish, scrub this down with a steel wool scouring pad. DO NOT spray oven cleaner on aluminum pots to remove grease or soot. It will cause the finish to become dull. If food remains stuck to the aluminum basket add hot water and let it soak, after cooling, scrub with steel wool. If hard water causes darkening on the interior of your boiler, fill to the level of the darkened area with a water and cream of tartar or vinegar solution (mixed concentration of three cups of water to one tablespoon cream of tartar or vinegar). Boil five to ten minutes.

• Confirm that all components are completely dry before using or placing in storage.

• Store all components in a dry, covered location when not in use with the cylinder not attached.

***Clean the entire appliance each year and tighten all hardware on a regular basis (1-2 times a year or more depending on amount of use)
