HOW TO CLEAN
Always unplug unit and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
Changing Oil:
The oil does not need to be changed after each use. It is recommended that the oil be
changed after approximately 5 to 8 uses or sooner when frying heavily flavored or
battered foods. The oil should be completely changed when it has the following
symptoms: unpleasant odor smoke when frying or when the color becomes darkens.
Storing Oil:
The oil may be stored in the fryer at room temperature (only if the fryer is used on a
regular basis) or you may store the oil in a separate container in the refrigerator.
Note: Do not attempt to place oil into a seperate container until the oil has
completely cooled down to room temperature.
To Clean:
1. Wash the basket and lid with a sponge or dishcloth in warm soapy water.
3. To clean the inner pot, pour warm water and dish soap into the pot and use a sponge
or dishcloth to remove grease. Empty the pot and rinse with warm water.
4. Dry the pot completely before next use.
5. Clean the body of the fryer with a damp cloth and then dry.
