Prior To First Use, Clean The Unit
Thoroughly
• All components with the exception of
the electrical parts, can be washed in
warm soap water. Dry thoroughly
before use.
• Remove the cover from the unit.

taken to ensure the washable oil filter
in the lid is completely dry, otherwise
the filter will not function properly and
may lead to steam being trapped
within the fryer during use.
Warning: Never fill the frying basket
more than half full with food.

Before Using Your Deep Fryer
Make sure the fryer is unplugged. Wash
the frying basket and oil container in hot ,
soapy water. Wipe dry thoroughly. Wipe
the removable heating control panel and
heating elements with a damp, soapy
cloth. Wipe dry thoroughly.
NOTE: Any water left in oil container or
on frying basket can cause heated oil to
splatter or “pop” during cooking. Special
care should be taken to ensure that the
oil filter in the removable cover is
completely dry, otherwise the filter will
not function properly. If not dry, steam
may be trapped within the fryer during
use and cause serious burns when
opened.

which has curdled and hardened in the oil
container should be removed from the oil
container and melted in a separate pan
before reusing.
