Deep Fryer Safety Tips

In terms of commercial deep fryer safety tips, it’s important to consider the operation of the deep fat fryer, safety of the surrounding area and safety in terms of how the food is prepared.

The following deep fat fryer safety tips relate to safely operating the deep fat fryer:

• Be aware of your surroundings and the setup of your deep fat fryer.
• Always wear suitable clothing and footwear to protect your skin from hot fat.
• Use non-slip floor mats to help prevent slips and falls caused by splashes of oil.
• Be aware of where your power cord is, so you don’t trip or pull the cord out unexpectedly.
• Do not overfill the fryer with too much food, or with oil above the fill line.
• Wait until your fryer returns to room temperature before you empty the oil or clean the deep fryer.

Fire Prevention Tips

Deep fat fryer fire safety and fire prevention tips are some of the most important when it comes to deep fat fryer safety. To put deep fat fryer fire safety first, consider the following and more:

Ensure you have a fire extinguisher close to hand in case of emergencies, and ensure it is the most suitable type of fire extinguisher for use with deep fat fryers and other kitchen equipment.

• Never use water to put out a grease fire.

Frequently Asked Questions

My grill ignitor is not working. What could be wrong?

If your ignitor isn’t clicking, the battery may be dead, or you may have a failed igniter module that needs to be replaced.

What’s wrong if my gas grill is not getting hot?

You may need to reset your fuel line regulator: Turn off your source of gas (propane or natural gas) and disconnect the hose to your grill. With the lid open, turn the burner knobs to high for a couple of minutes; then turn them off. Reconnect your hose to your gas source, and slowly turn on the gas. If this doesn’t solve your issue, you may have clogs in your burner tubes. That’s a problem best left to professionals like Mr. Appliance
