CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
1. Always unplug appliance, detach the
breakaway cord and let the oil cool down to
room temperature before cleaning.
2. Remove lid.
3. Lift out basket.
4. The control panel should never be immersed
in water or other liquids. Before first use,
clean the outer surface of the heating
element with a damp cloth containing mild
soap solution or clean water.
5. Once the oil has cooled, line a sieve with
cheesecloth. Grasp each side of the
removable oil container and lift upward. Pour
the oil through the sieve and strain the used
oil through it to remove food particles,
crumbs and impurities. This process is safe
to repeat 3 or 4 times without the oil
deteriorating.
6. The frying basket should be hand-washed
before first use and should be seasoned with
oil before going into the dishwasher for the
first time. Lid, oil container and frying basket
are dishwasher safe. Dry parts thoroughly
after cleaning.
7. The stainless steel body is submersible and
should be washed by hand with warm, soapy
water.
8. Ensure that both the lid and the oil container
are completely dry after washing and before
use.
9. After cleaning, reassemble oil container,
heating element, basket and lid onto deep
fryer. The heating element must be seated
properly or appliance will not operate.
10. WARNING: When cleaning, use care – under-
edge of deep fryer is sharp.
11. For storage, basket handle can be folded
down to fit inside container.
12. Tip: For ease in cleaning, wipe control panel
with damp microfiber cloth. Microfiber cloths
are available in most kitchenware stores.
NOTE: Oil staining on the heating element and
oil container can be easily cleaned with a plastic
scrubbing pad.
13. NEVER PUT THE CONTROL PANEL IN
WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS TO CLEAN.
Wipe it with a damp cloth or sponge. Do not
use abrasive cleansers, which could scratch
the surface.
Any other servicing should be performed by an
Authorized Service Representative.
