Care And Cleaning - Presto Dual Basket ProFry Plus Instructions Manual

Care and Cleaning

1. After unit and oil have cooled completely, carefully lift control assembly out of fryer and wipe with a damp cloth to clean. Never
immerse the control assembly in water or wash in a dishwasher.
2. Then, grabbing the cutouts on the sides of the removable pot (see Fig. A1, page 2), carefully lift the pot out of the deep fryer.
If you plan to reuse the cooking oil, it is recommended that you strain the oil to remove any food particles. Then store the oil in a
tightly sealed container and keep where it will not be exposed to heat or direct light.
3. Wash the removable pot, fry/steam baskets, fryer cover, and base in dishwasher or in warm, sudsy water.
Important: To prevent damage to the removable pot, cover, or base, do not use steel wool scouring pads, abrasive kitchen cleaners,
bleach, vinegar, lemon juice, or other acid-based cleaners. When cleaning in the dishwasher, do not use dishwasher rinse aids or
hard water deposit removers, such as LemiShine
baskets.
If desired, the basket handles may be removed for cleaning. Squeeze the drain hooks and fold the handle into the basket until the
handle bars are out of the brackets. Continue squeezing to remove both pegs from the bracket holes. After cleaning, reattach handle
making sure both pegs are in the bracket holes and the handle bars are in the brackets (see Fig. D, page 3). Fold handle into basket
for storage (see Fig. B1, page 3).
Note: your fryer has a grease filter in the cover. The filter does not need replacing.
4. Before reassembling unit, be sure all parts are completely dry (see page 3).
5. Always check the magnetic plug before use to assure metal items have not become attached to the magnet.
6. Periodically check the screws on the base handles and feet to be sure they are tight. Retighten, if necessary, with a standard #2
Phillips head screwdriver. CAUTION: overtightening can result in stripping of screws or cracking of handles and feet.
Replacing the Timer Battery
The battery used in the deep fryer is a CR2032 3V lithium battery which will seldom need to be
replaced. If you ever need to replace the battery, follow the instructions below.
1. Although not visible, there is an undercut located on the left and right side of the timer. Insert a
thin object (such as a butter knife) in the undercut on the left side of the timer (Fig. h) and lift
that side of the timer away from the control panel. hold that side of the timer with your finger,
to prevent it from slipping back in control panel, and insert the knife in the undercut on the right
side of the timer and lift that side away from the control panel. now pull the timer out completely
from the opening in the control panel.
2. Turn the timer over so the back side is facing up. Using your thumb,
remove the battery compartment cover by sliding it in the direction
the arrow is pointing (Fig. I).
3. Using a small paring knife, or some other narrow object, carefully
press near the top of the interlock spring towards the wall of the
timer to release the battery from under the hooks (Fig. J). Use the
tip of the knife to remove the battery and discard.
4. Position new CR2032 3V lithium battery, with writing facing up,
in compartment fitting it underneath the plastic edge (Fig. J). Push
battery down on the side by the interlock spring until the battery
snaps into position under the hooks.
5. Replace battery cover. holding the cover with your thumb on the arrow, fit the sides of the cover
in the grooves on the timer and slide the door towards the interlock spring. Turn the timer over
and press the button to make sure it is operating.
6. Place timer back in control panel so the rib on the timer is aligned with the notch on the control
panel (Fig. K).
