• Make sure the deep fryer has been unplugged from the wall outlet and the oil
has completely cooled before cleaning the deep fryer.
• The oil used in deep-frying can be used more than once, but the quality of
the oil deteriorates with continued use. The life of the oil or fat will depend
on several factors: the temperature and length of time the oil is heated, the
number of times the oil is heated, the amount of water that comes into
contact with the oil from the foods fried, and the type of foods being fried.
• To empty oil from fryer, remove control panel and heating element; place
on paper-lined pan to drain. Lift out oil container; tilt to pour out. Use
absorbent paper to remove browned deposits at the bottom of the container.

It is recommended that you clean your fryer each time after you have finished
frying, and especially after frying breaded or floured food. Any breading that remains
in the oil after frying will burn and cause the oil to deteriorate more quickly.
1. Unplug deep fryer from the wall outlet, allow fryer to cool completely, and
pour out leftover oil.
2. Remove fryer basket; detach basket handle. Wash the basket and the handle
with hot, soapy water.
3. Remove control panel from the fryer housing. Never immerse control panel
in water to clean. Use a damp cloth to carefully wipe the control panel.
4. Carefully lift up oil container to remove it from the fryer housing. Pour out
oil by tilting container so oil is directed to one of the corners. Wash container
and lid with hot, soapy water. To maintain the polish of the outer surface, do
not use abrasive cleaners or sponge to wipe the housing. Note: The fryer basket,
basket handle, oil container and fryer lid are all dishwasher safe, however these
parts may become discolored in the dishwasher. The performance of these parts
will not be affected by the discoloration.
5. Once the parts are completely dry, reassemble fryer. The basket handle can be
removed or folded down for easier storage.
6. Store the cord in a clean, dry location away from metal objects. Always check
the magnetic plug before use to assure metal items have not become attached.
7. Do not attempt to disassemble the control panel. If there are any problems,
please contact an authorized service center for assistance.
