Carefully remove the frypot:  wearing heat-resistant gloves, lift the 

 

frypot by the handles.  Drain the oil into a suitable container.

and the thermobulbs.  Be careful that the capillary tubes of the    

 

thermobulbs are not moved or damaged during cleaning. 

 
6.  Keep all exterior surfaces free from splashed grease by wiping with 
 

a clean cloth dampened with warm water and mild detergent.  A 

 

non-abrasive detergent and plastic scouring pad may be used for 

 stubborn 

deposits.
