CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION: NEVER IMMERSE
THE DEEP FRYER BODY OR CORD

LIQUID.
Before cleaning, switch the deep fryer off
at the power outlet and unplug the power
cord. Allow oil to cool completely. Oil will
retain its temperature for a long time after
use. Do not attempt to move or carry the
deep fryer, element and control panel
while it is hot.
Oil should be filtered after each use and
stored in a clean, air-tight container in a
cool area.

times. Do not store the oil in the deep
fryer.
Discard used oil in a sealed container with
household waste. Do not pour down a
sink or drain.

coated surface

lift out the non-stick cooking bowl. After
removing the oil, the interior of the bowl
and the inside of the lid should be wiped
with an absorbent paper towel, then
cleaned using a soft cloth dampened with
a little warm water and mild washing up
liquid.Wipe again with a clean damp cloth
to remove any traces of washing up liquid
and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Do not use any abrasive cleaners, such as
steel wool to clean the non-stick surface
of your deep fryer as this will scratch the
coating.
The exterior of the body and lid can be
cleaned with a slightly dampened cloth
and mild washing up liquid.Window
cleaner may also be used. Do not use any
abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the
outside surface.
