3.0 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
When removing heavy items to aid cleaning or maintenance particular care should be taken.
A manual handling risk assessment is the best way to determine the level of risk to anyone
using or maintaining this equipment. To help with such an evaluation we have included the
weights of individual components that may present significant risk.
For further help and information on manual handling and associated risk assessment we
would refer you to you the Health and Safety Executive website;

document
ref: manual handling at work INDG143. International customers should default to the health
and safety guidelines provided by your government body.
The cleaning of fryers or other products that use hot oil present significant risks to end users
and particular care should be taken. Cold water and hot oil for example are an explosive mix
and should be avoided at all costs.
