CLEANING, CARE AND
MAINTENANCE
1. Always unplug appliance, detach the
breakaway cord and let the oil cool down to
room temperature before cleaning.
2. Remove lid.
3. Lift out basket.
4. The control panel should never be immersed
in water or other liquids. Before first use,
clean the outer surface of the heating element
with a damp cloth containing mild soap
solution or clean water.
5. Once the oil has cooled, line a sieve
with cheesecloth. Grasp each side of the
removable oil container and lift upward. Pour
the oil through the sieve and strain the used
oil through it to remove food particles, crumbs
and impurities. This process is safe to repeat
after three or four frying sessions without the
oil deteriorating.
6. The frying basket should be seasoned in
oil before going into the dishwasher for the
first time. Lid and oil container are dishwasher
safe. Dry parts thoroughly after cleaning and
before assembling.
7. The stainless steel housing is not
submersible and should be washed by hand
with warm, soapy water.
8. Ensure that both the lid and the oil
container are completely dry after washing
and before use.
9. After cleaning, reassemble oil container,
heating element, basket and lid onto deep
fryer. The heating element must be seated
properly or appliance will not operate.
10. Warning: When cleaning, use care – under-
edge of deep fryer is sharp.
11. For storage, basket handle can be folded
down to fit inside container.
12. Tip: For ease in cleaning, wipe control panel
with damp microfiber cloth. Microfiber cloths
are available in most kitchenware stores.
NOTE: Oil staining on the heating element
and oil container can be easily cleaned
with a plastic scrubbing pad.
Maintenance: Any other servicing should
be performed by an authorized service
representative.
