HELPFUL HINTS

• Use only good quality oil when frying. Deep frying foods in butter or
margarine is dangerous because of the low smoking temperatures.
• Oil can be reused 8 – 12 times if cleaned after each use. See #4 in the Care
and Cleaning section.
• The Lid is fitted with a 3 part filtering system to reduce frying odour.
Do not use the Fryer without the Filters in place.
• DO NOT use the Fryer without oil. The Fryer will be severely damaged,
and the warranty will be voided, if heated dry.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. Unplug cord from wall outlet. Allow oil to cool. NOTE: Oil retains its
temperature for a long time after use. Do not attempt to empty the fryer
until the oil has cooled completely. Do not move or carry the Fryer while
it is still hot.
2. Once oil has cooled, remove the Lid (see the 'Removing the Lid' section
below. Pour the oil into a container that holds at least 3 litres. Place the
container in the sink and pour the oil from the Base. Make sure that the
fryer is completely empty before turning the Fryer upright to prevent oil
from dripping down the exterior wall of the Fryer Base.
3. When Base is empty, add about 2 cups (500 ml) of warm soapy water
and let stand for a few minutes. Use a nylon pad or brush to remove
heavy oil stains. Empty. Rinse with about 2 cups (500 ml) of clean water.
Empty and dry. NOTE: Be careful not to let water drip down exterior wall
of Fryer Base.
4. Filter oil through either absorbent paper or a large coffee filter into
another container or back into the cleaned Fryer. Oil should retain its
properties for another 8 - 12 uses. NOTE: If oil has been used for cooking
seafood, it should be discarded.
5. Wipe Lid and exterior wall of Fryer Base with a damp cloth and dry.
6. The Frying Basket and Handle can be washed in hot soapy water. Rinse
and dry.
7. Replace the Lid and place the Frying Basket back in the Fryer. Store in a
cool dry place.
