Care and Cleaning

1. Remove plug from wall outlet and then from deep fryer and allow oil and fryer to cool completely

with cover closed.

2. To empty oil from fryer, after unit has cooled completely, remove cover by rotating it to the verti-

cal position and lifting it straight up off the fryer (Fig. H). If cover does not come off easily, tilt the

cover forward slightly and lift it off.

3. When removing the oil, first rotate the fryer so the hinge is toward you. Then tilt the fryer away

from you and pour the oil from the area between the handle and temperature control knob.

Immediately wipe the exterior of the fryer with a damp, soapy cloth to clean. Never immerse the

fryer body in water or other liquid, or wash in a dishwasher. Clean the interior with hot, soapy

water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

4. If you plan to reuse the oil, strain it through a filter or a double thickness of cheesecloth to remove the accumulated residue. Store

oil in a tightly sealed container and keep where it will not be exposed to heat or direct light.

5. Wash the fry basket and the cover in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. (If desired, the fry basket may be washed in the

dishwasher.) Once the cover is thoroughly dry, reattach it to the fryer hinge. Place the cover in a vertical position. Align the two tabs

on the cover with the two slots in the hinge (Fig. H). Push the cover all the way down until the tabs are seated firmly in the slots.

When properly assembled, the cover will rotate easily to open and close.

6. If necessary, the interior of the unit can be cleaned with an abrasive cleaner, such as Bar Keepers Friend* cleanser and polish or

Cameo* copper, brass, & porcelain cleaner and a nylon mesh cleaning pad such as Scotch-Brite* Multi-Purpose Scrub Sponge*.

7. If needed, the exterior of the unit can be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner, such as Soft Scrub* Cleanser. Do not use steel wool

scouring pads, oven cleaners, liquid bleach, baking soda, or other caustic cleaners on the interior or exterior of the unit.

8. 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.

The following times are approximate and based on the maximum recommended amounts of food. Fill the basket no more than ¾ full for most foods.
