If oil is to be discarded, pour into a disposable container; discard. If oil is to be saved, strain into a dry, clean container by filtering through a sieve lined with paper toweling. Usually, oil may be reused once or twice. Oil should be stored in a covered container in refrigerator. Do not store oil in fryer at room temperature, as the oil will become rancid. Do not store fryer containing oil in refrigerator, as fryer is not designed to be stored in refrigerator.

Clean Fryer Base

After oil is poured out, wipe inside of fryer with paper toweling to remove residue. Then fill inside of fryer with hot soapy water to the MIN line. Wash inside with a dishcloth or non-metal cleaning pad such as Scrunge® scrubber sponge, Dobie® or Scotch-Brite Cookware Scrub’n Sponge®. Do not use metal scouring pads or harsh scouring powders on fryer. After washing inside, empty, rinse carefully and dry. Wipe outside of fryer with a damp soapy cloth and dry.

Storing Fryer

Make sure all parts of fryer are clean and dry before storing. Lower basket handle and store fryer covered. Wrap cord around storage bar on backside of fryer.

Replacing Charcoal Filter

The charcoal filter should be replaced after every 10 to 12 uses to help reduce odor during frying and also to prevent possibility of oil overflowing due to using a dirty filter. See Warranty section on ordering charcoal filters. Do not use any other charcoal filter as a substitute and do not use fryer without a charcoal filter.
