    If desired, the basket handle may be removed for cleaning. Squeeze the drain hooks and fold the handle into the basket 

until the handle bars are out of the brackets. Continue squeezing to remove both pegs from the bracket holes. After 
cleaning, reattach handle making sure both pegs are in the bracket holes and the handle bars are in the brackets (see 
Fig. D, page 3). Fold handle into basket for storage (see Fig. B1, page 3).

    Note:

 your fryer has a grease filter in the cover. The filter does not need replacing.

  4.  Before reassembling unit, be sure all parts are completely dry (see page 2).
  5.  Always check the magnetic plug before use to assure metal items have not become attached to the magnet.
  6.  Periodically check the screws on the base handles and feet (Fig. A1) to be sure they are secure. Retighten, if necessary, 

with a standard #2 Phillips head screwdriver. 

 

CAUTION: Overtightening (beyond the point they are secure) can result in stripping of screws or cracking of 

handles and feet.
