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.
Do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive kitchen cleaners on the removable pot, cover, or base and do not use bleaching
agents to clean the fry/steam 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.
