•The oil does not need to be changed after each use. On average, oil can be used for 8 to 12 uses. You will need to change it more often when frying fish or heavily battered foods.
•We recommend filtering the oil if you see any food debris left in the oil or on the bottom of the pot. You may do this by performing the following:
•Remove the basket. Carefully pour the clear oil into another large pot or saucepan (minimum of 3 to 5 liters), leaving food debris in bottom of cooking pot. Discard this small amount of oil with food debris.
HOW TO CLEAN
•Prior to washing, wipe oil residue and food debris from cooking pot with paper towels.
•Wipe heater with dry paper towels until it is free from oily residue. Take care not to bend thermostat wires on heater.
•To clean the control box and heater, use a damp dishcloth that has been dipped in water and mild dish soap. Completely wipe down all parts of the control box. Wipe off all residual dish soap with a damp cloth. Do not reassemble the deep fryer until all the parts are thoroughly dry.
•To remove metal mesh filter, push back on filter cover locking tab and lift up on cover.
•Clean the lid, filter cover, metal mesh filter, basket, bowl and the main body with hot water, a little dishwashing liquid and a sponge or put these parts into the dishwasher to clean. The filter can be soaked in warm water with dishwashing liquid. Be sure to rinse well and allow to dry completely.
Place the bowl as vertically as possible in the dishwasher, while ensuring it will not hinder the spray arms. Dry thoroughly before reassembling all parts.
STORING YOUR APPLIANCE
•Do not store appliance that still contains oil in the oil tank or that has not been cleaned and dried thoroughly.
•For best results in storing your appliance, fold fry basket handle back into basket, also, place the control box on the stainless steel base and oil tank.
•Store metal mesh filter under filter cover on lid.
•Store in a dry area. Unit can be stored in its box. Do not place heavy items on top of the deep fryer or the box, as this could result in damage to your appliance.
