BEFORE ANY CLEANING IS UNDERTAKEN, ENSURE THAT THE UNIT IS ISOLATED FROM
THE MAINS.
THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CLEANED WITH A JET OF WATER OR STEAM CLEANED.
Do not attempt to clean the unit with acid or halogen based (eg. chlorine) descaling liquids or cleaning
powders.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
It should be noted that stainless steel can be easily marked by certain scouring pads including nylon
types and care should be exercised. When rubbing stainless steel with a cloth, always rub along the
grain direction.
Cleaning Procedure
In the interests of good housekeeping and hygiene, it is recommended that the appliance be cleaned
daily as follows -
1. Ensure fryer has been switched OFF at mains installation switch.
2. Insert drain extension pipe supplied securely into drain.
3. Place a receptacle directly below drain pipe.
4. Slowly open drain valve. This will allow oil to flow gently into vessel. Take care not to overfill
receptacle.
5. Having drained pan, close drain valve.
6. Remove basket and fish plate. Submerge items in a sink filled with hot, soapy water.
7. Pour hot water and detergent into fryer pan. Detegent to water ratio is dependant upon strength of
cleaning medium.
8. Set fryer control between 160Žo
and 165Žo

simmer slowly. The duration of this process is dependant upon how soiled the pan is.
9. Turn unit OFF.
10. Drain water from pan as detailed in 3 and 4 above.
11. Rinse pan with clean water. Dry thoroughly. To gain access to pan interior for wiping, the
elements can be hinged upward. When elements become fully raised, a support latch will secure
these in position.
Important Note
Ensure elements are cool before attempting this procedure.
