CARE AND CLEANING
This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service
personnel.
Important: Always unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before discarding
the oil and cleaning.
STORING OIL
Note: You do not have to change the oil after each use. Oil can be reused until it gets
dark or there is visible debris (such as batter or bits of food) in it.
1. Unplug unit from wall outlet.
2. Remove magnetic end of power cord from the unit socket.
3. Be sure the oil is completely cool before removing the cooking pot.
4. Store the cooled oil in its original container.
CLEANING
Cooking Pot and Frying Basket
1. Wash frying basket in the dishwasher, or wash by hand with a nonabrasive liquid
cleanser using a nylon pad to remove any remaining oil.
2. Wash cooking pot by hand with a nonabrasive liquid cleanser using a sponge or
nylon pad to remove remaining oil.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaners, coarse cleansers, or metal pads as
they may damage the nonstick coated surface.
• Be careful not to bang the pot as any dents can affect future performance.
Note: To remove tough stains or dried-on foods stuck to the surface of the cooking
pot, we recommend a mild cleanser such as soft scrub for easier removal.
3. After washing, dry the cooking pot, frying basket and handle thoroughly.
Note: Over time and repeated use, there may be some fat buildup in the pot and on
the basket. This is normal.
