Before Using Your Deep Fryer
Make sure the fryer is unplugged. Wash
the frying basket and oil container in hot ,
soapy water. Wipe dry thoroughly. Wipe
the removable heating control panel and
heating elements with a damp, soapy
cloth. Wipe dry thoroughly.

on frying basket can cause heated oil to
splatter or “pop” during cooking. Special
care should be taken to ensure that the
oil filter in the removable cover is
