Fill the reservoir with approximately
1 gallon (4 l) of water and add a
small amount of dish soap. Make

opening the drain valve by turning it
counterclockwise (see "After using
the fryer").

Close the drain valve by turning it
clockwise, raise the heating element,

with a soft cloth.
Heating the appliance
