5.6 Before First Use
Before initial start-up, clean the protective oil from the interior of the pan with washing soda
solution or other grease dissolving material. If required, the pan may be boiled using water and
detergent solution filled to the oil fill line on the fryer. Drain through the valve in the bottom then
rinse thoroughly. (Note: The tank must be completely rinsed out as even a small particle of cleaner
in the pan will ruin the cooking medium). Also, clean the baskets and strainer. Wipe the tank and all
components dry and ensure
NO
water remains.
