A Condensation Drip Tray has been designed into the Deep Fryer
and is located on the back side of the unit just below the lid. The lid has been
designed to channel condensation that accumulates on the inside of the lid to the
back of the unit and into the Condensation Drip Tray. To empty, simply remove
the Drip Tray and dispose of the water inside.
