cleaning, and servicing the fryer.

Daily

Clean your fryer regularly with the tank brush along with a damp cloth, and polish with a
soft dry cloth. If regular cleaning is neglected, grease will be burned on and discolorations
may form.
Fingerprints are sometimes a problem on highly polished surfaces of stainless steel. They
can be minimized by applying a cleaner that will leave a thin oily or waxy film.

Clean all exterior surfaces of your fryer at least once daily.
