Replacing Charcoal Filter
The charcoal filter should be replaced after every
10 to 12 uses to help reduce odor during frying
and also to prevent possibility of oil overflowing
due to using a dirty filter. See Warranty section
on ordering charcoal filters. Do not use any
other charcoal filter as a substitute and do not
use fryer without a charcoal filter.
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or
property damage from oil overflowing due to
using a dirty charcoal filter, replace filter as
recommended after every 10 to 12 uses. Do not
use fryer without charcoal filter.
To replace charcoal filter, push in release clip on filter cover. Lift charcoal filter out and discard. Wipe recess area
clean with a damp soapy cloth, wipe clean and dry. Wash filter cover in hot soapy water, rinse and dry. Place new
charcoal filter into recess with thin filter sheet down first. Replace filter cover and close to lock in place. See
Diagram 5.
