6.FILTERING & CHANGING THE OIL
•Make sure the deep fryer / fondue maker is unplugged and the oil has cooled before cleaning or storing the deep fryer.
•The oil does not need to be changed after each use. In general, the oil will be tainted rather quickly when frying food containing a lot of protein (such as poultry, meat or fish). When oil is mainly used to fry potatoes and is filtered after each use, it can be used 8 to 10 times. However, do not use the same oil for longer than 6 months.
•To filter the oil, first make sure the oil has cooled and then empty the oil from the bowl (# 6) into another container or bottle.
•Wash and dry the bowl (#6) and frying basket (#4). Refill the bowl (#6) with the oil, pouring the oil through a wire strainer or paper filter. (Fig. 3)

7. Cleaning Instructions
Warning: Always remove the plug from the wall socket before cleaning. Allow the deep fryer and the oil to cool completely (approximately 2 hours) before cleaning.
•Switch temperature setting knob (#10) to “Off” position and remove plug from outlet. Allow unit to cool completely.
•Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp soapy cloth. Dry thoroughly.
•Caution: Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads.
•When the oil is changed, (see previous section), dry the inside of the bowl (#6) with paper towels and remove remaining food particles. Wash the inside with damp soapy cloth, rinse with a clean cloth and dry.
Caution: To avoid possible injury from electrical shock, do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
•Wash the frying basket (# 4) and handle (# 3) in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
