NOTE: When using a metal container, allow the solution to cool to below 120ºF for safe
handling. Always safely dispose of used cleaning solution as required by local ordinances.
7. Rinse the kettle thoroughly with warm, clean water. Drain into the same container as used to
dispose of the cleaning solution.
IMPORTANT: NEVER turn the FILTER PUMP ON with anything other than commercial-
quality liquid shortening in the filter reservoir. Water will cause severe oil splattering, can
damage the pump and will contaminate the cooking oil.
CLEANING THE RESERVOIR
CLEAN THE RESERVOIR ONLY WHEN EMPTY. The FILTER RESERVOIR and FILTERLEAF
should be cleaned after each day’s filtration, or as needed to return oil promptly to the kettle.
1. Remove the empty FILTER RESERVOIR from the fryer. Wash the FILTER RESERVOIR and
the FILTERLEAF components in the dishwasher, or in the sink, using mild soap or detergent.
2. Rinse thoroughly with clean warm water to remove all residue. Be sure to flush out the FILTER
RESERVOIR SUCTION TUBE. Tip the FILTER RESERVOIR upside down and allow all water
to drain from the reservoir and suction tube.
3. Dry all parts thoroughly with a non-abrasive cloth.
4. Assemble and reinstall the FILTER LEAF and FILTER RESERVOIR. Refer to page 8.
DAILY CLEANING OF FRYER
1. FRYER EXTERIOR: As required, wash the exterior of the fryer with warm water, mild soap or
detergent, and a clean, non-abrasive cloth. Dry with a clean, non-abrasive cloth.
BURN HAZARD - FILTER RESERVOIR
WHEN REMOVING THE FILTER RESERVOIR AFTER FILTERING OIL,
WEAR INSULATED GLOVES, OR ALLOW IT TIME TO COOL.
The hot oil will quickly heat the reservoir. Serious burns could result from
touching the hot filter reservoir with bare hands.
