Care and Cleaning

1. After unit and oil have cooled completely, carefully lift control assembly out of fryer and wipe with a damp cloth to clean. Never
immerse the control assembly in water or wash in a dishwasher.
2. Then, holding the cutouts on the sides of the removable pot (see Fig. A1, page 2), carefully lift the pot out of the deep fryer.
If you plan to reuse the cooking oil, it is recommended that you strain the oil to remove any food particles. Then store the oil in
a tightly sealed container and keep where it will not be exposed to heat or direct light.
3. Wash the removable pot, fry/steam basket, fryer cover, and base in dishwasher or in warm, sudsy water.
Important: To prevent damage to the removable pot, cover, or base, do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive kitchen
cleaners, bleach, vinegar, lemon juice, or other acid-based cleaners. When cleaning in the dishwasher, do not use dishwasher rinse
aids or hard water deposit removers, such as LemiShine
fry/steam basket.
If desired, the basket handle may be removed for cleaning. Squeeze the drain hooks and fold the handle into the basket until the
handle bars are out of the brackets. Continue squeezing to remove both pegs from the bracket holes. After cleaning, reattach handle
making sure both pegs are in the bracket holes and the handle bars are in the brackets (see Fig. D, page 3). Fold handle into basket
for storage (see Fig. B1, page 3).
Note: Your fryer has a grease filter in the cover. The filter does not need replacing.
4. Before reassembling unit, be sure all parts are completely dry.
5. Always check the magnetic plug before use to assure metal items have not become attached to the magnet.
6. Periodically check the screws on the base handles and feet to be sure they are tight. Retighten, if necessary, with a standard #2
Phillips head screwdriver. CAUTIoN: overtightening can result in stripping of screws or cracking of handles and feet.
