6. FILTERING & CHANGING THE OIL
•
Make sure the deep fryer / fondue maker is unplugged and the oil has cooled before cleaning
or storing the deep fryer.
• The oil does not need to be changed after each use. In general, the oil will be tainted rather
quickly when frying food containing a lot of protein (such as poultry, meat or fish). When oil is
mainly used to fry potatoes and is filtered after each use, it can be used 8 to 10 times.
However, do not use the same oil for longer than 6 months.
• To filter the oil, first make sure the oil has cooled and then empty the oil from the bowl (# 6)
into another container or bottle.
•
Wash and dry the bowl (#6) and frying basket (#4). Refill the bowl (#6) with the oil, pouring
the oil through a wire strainer or paper filter. (Fig. 3)

7. Cleaning Instructions
Warning:
Always remove the plug from the wall socket before cleaning. Allow the deep fryer
and the oil to cool completely (approximately 2 hours) before cleaning.
• Switch temperature setting knob (#10) to “Off” position and remove plug from outlet.
Allow unit to cool completely.
• Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp soapy cloth. Dry thoroughly.
•
Caution
: Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads.
• When the oil is changed, (see previous section), dry the inside of the bowl (#6) with paper
towels and remove remaining food particles. Wash the inside with damp soapy cloth,
rinse with a clean cloth and dry.
Caution
: To avoid possible injury from electrical shock, do not immerse the appliance in
water or any other liquid.
• Wash the frying basket (# 4) and handle (# 3) in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
