CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

down to room temperature before
cleaning.
2. Remove lid.
3. Lift out basket.

immersed in water or other liquids.
Clean the outer surface of the
heating element with a damp cloth
containing mild soap solution or
clean water.
5. Once the oil has cooled line a sieve
with cheesecloth. Grasp each side
of the removable oil container and
lift upward. Pour the oil through
the sieve and strain the used oil
through it to remove food particles,
crumbs and impurities. This process
is safe to repeat after three or four
frying sessions without the oil
deteriorating.

washed before first use and should
be seasoned with oil before going
into the dishwasher for the first time.
