Care and Cleaning
1. After unit and oil have cooled completely, carefully lift control assembly out of fryer and wipe with a damp cloth to
clean.
Never immerse the control assembly in water or wash in a dishwasher.
2. Then, grasping two opposite corners of the removable pot, carefully lift the pot out of the deep fryer.
If you plan to reuse the cooking oil, it is recommended that you strain the oil to remove any food particles. Then store
the oil in a tightly sealed container and keep where it will not be exposed to heat or direct light.
3. Wash the removable pot, fry/steam basket, fryer cover, and base in dishwasher or in warm, sudsy water.
Important:
To prevent damage to the removable pot, cover, or base, do not use steel wool scouring pads, abrasive
kitchen cleaners, bleach, vinegar, lemon juice, or other acid-based cleaners. When cleaning in the dishwasher, do not
use dishwasher rinse aids or hard water deposit removers, such as Lemi Shine® The hard Water Expert™*. Do not
use bleaching agents to clean the fry/steam basket.
