Care And Cleaning - Presto Kitchen Kettle Instructions Manual

Care and Cleaning

If the appliance was used for deep frying, refer to the section "Handling Oil after Frying" on page 8 before cleaning.
After each use, remove the heat control and wash the appliance by hand. Use warm, soapy water and rinse and dry thoroughly. Clean
the nonstick base with a nylon mesh scouring pad, such as Scotch-Brite* Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge, or a damp cloth. Firm pressure
can be applied, if necessary.
Do not wash the appliance in the dishwasher.
NOTICE: Repeated washings in a dishwasher will cause the nonstick properties of the ceramic coating to slowly diminish. In addition,
the bottom of the appliance will likely discolor due to the caustic nature of the dishwasher detergent and a gray residue may form
which may transfer onto towels and/or hands.
Soaking the appliance to loosen food residue is not necessary. If, however, soaking the appliance is desired, do not soak for more than
2 hours. Soaking for more than 2 hours may damage the nonstick finish.
Do not use steel wool or abrasive kitchen cleaners. Do not immerse Control Master
let either come in contact with any liquid.
In time, the ceramic coating may darken over the heating element due to a buildup of grease residue. To minimize or remove this
discoloration, sprinkle baking soda over the discolored area. Add enough water to make a paste. Allow paste to sit for several minutes
and then scour with a nylon mesh scouring pad, such as Scotch-Brite* Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge, or a damp cloth. Wash and dry
thoroughly. Repeat the procedure, if necessary.
Periodically check the screws on the two handles and four legs for looseness. Retighten, if necessary, with a Phillips screwdriver.
NOTICE: Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in stripping of screws or cracking of handles and legs.
Any maintenance required for this product, other than normal household care and cleaning, should be performed by the Presto Factory
Service Department (see page 10).
