See Diagram 1. Lift basket out of fryer. 
 

Remove Oil

 

If oil is to be discarded, pour into a disposable container; discard.  If oil is to be saved, strain into a dry, clean container by 
filtering through a sieve lined with paper toweling.  Usually, oil may be reused once or twice.  Oil should be stored in a 
covered container in refrigerator.  Do not store oil in fryer at room temperature, as the oil will become rancid.  Do not 
store fryer containing oil in refrigerator, as fryer is not designed to be stored in refrigerator. 
 

Clean Fryer Base 

After oil is poured out, wipe inside of fryer with paper toweling to remove residue.  Then fill inside of fryer with hot soapy 
water to the MIN line.  Wash inside with a dishcloth or non-metal cleaning pad such as Scrunge® scrubber sponge, 
Dobie® or Scotch-Brite Cookware Scrub’n Sponge®.  Do not use metal scouring pads or harsh scouring powders on 
fryer.  After washing inside, empty, rinse carefully and dry.  Wipe outside of fryer with a damp soapy cloth and dry. 
 

Clean Basket and Handle 

Wash basket and handle in hot soapy water with a dishcloth, rinse and dry.  The basket and handle may be cleaned in 
dishwasher, TOP RACK ONLY.  Handle is not removable from basket. 
 

Clean Cover 
NOTE: Cover contains charcoal filter.  Cover is not immersible for cleaning nor is it dishwasher safe.  Do not take 
cover apart for cleaning. 
 
For regular cleaning,

 wipe top and bottom sides of cover with a damp soapy cloth, wipe clean and dry.  Replace cover on 

base. 
 

For more thorough cleaning,

 remove charcoal filter from cover by pushing release clip on filter cover.  Lift filter out and 

set aside.  

Do not wash charcoal filter.

 Wipe top and bottom sides of cover with a damp soapy cloth, wipe clean and dry.  

Filter cover may be washed in hot soapy water, rinsed and dried.  

Do not wash cover parts in dishwasher.

 Replace 

charcoal filter back into recess of plastic cover with thin filter sheet down first.  Lock filter cover in place.  See Diagram 5.  
Replace cover on base. 
 

Storing Fryer 

Make sure all parts of fryer are clean and dry before storing.  Lower basket handle and store fryer covered.  Wrap cord 
around storage bar on backside of fryer. 
 

Replacing Charcoal Filter 

The charcoal filter should be replaced after every 10 to 
12 uses to help reduce odor during frying and also to 
prevent possibility of oil overflowing due to using a 
dirty filter.  See Warranty section on ordering charcoal 
filters.  

Do not use any other charcoal filter as a 

substitute and do not use fryer without a charcoal 
filter.

 

 

CAUTION:

 To prevent personal injury or property 

damage from oil overflowing due to using a dirty 
charcoal filter, replace filter as recommended after 
every 10 to 12 uses.  Do not use fryer without charcoal 
filter.
