Before First Use
Become familiar with the various parts
of the deep fryer (Fig. A) and read the
instructions carefully.
Cleaning before first use...
Wipe the fryer cover and cool-touch fryer
base with a damp cloth.
Never immerse
the fryer base in water or other liquid.
Never wash the cover parts or fryer base
in a dishwasher.
open the deep fryer cover by pushing the
cover release button on the front of the fryer.
Remove the frying basket, basket handle,
charcoal air filter, and any packaging mate-
rial from the deep fryer. Then lift the remov
-
able pot out of the fryer base. Wash both
the basket and removable pot in hot, soapy
water; rinse and dry thoroughly. Washing
the removable pot in a dishwasher is not
recommended. If you choose to wash the
removable pot in a dishwasher, the exterior
of the removable pot will likely discolor
due to the caustic nature of the dishwasher
detergent.
positioning removable pot in fryer
base...
After cleaning, place the removable pot
back in the fryer base. The terminal pins
on the bottom of the removable pot fit
in the receptacle inside the fryer base
(Fig. B). For easiest alignment, position
the pot in the base so the
on the front
of the pot aligns with the front seam of
the unit (Fig. C). Then tilt the pot forward
slightly and push pot down into fryer base.
If the fryer cover closes, you will know the
removable pot is positioned correctly.
Installing/replacing removable filter...
The mesh charcoal filter, which is located in the cover of the deep fryer, will help
absorb unpleasant odors. For the deep fryer to effectively absorb these odors, always
use the fryer with the filter in the cover.
To install or replace the filter, first close the fryer cover. Then, remove the filter cover
(Fig. D) by pushing the release latch towards the window and lift up on the back of
the filter cover. If replacing an old filter, remove old filter and discard. Unwrap new
charcoal filter and insert it in the filter compartment. Replace the filter cover and
snap into place by pushing down.
Replacement filters may be purchased through the Presto Consumer Service
Department. Call 1-800-877-0441 (see page 10) or order on the web at www.
