Cleaning, Care & Maintenance
The Fryer should be cleaned after each day’s operation; however it may require cleaning more often,
depending on the volume of frying carried out.
1. Switch off the power and disconnect from the power supply by removing the plug from the socket.
2. The Fryer must be left until the oil has cooled to room temperature before cleaning.
3. Empty oil by opening the drain tap at the front of the unit.
Note: If the oil is to be reused, it should be filtered.
4. Once the oil has been emptied from the fryer, the head unit can be tilted back enabling the pan to be
cleaned using warm soapy water.
Warm soapy water is recommended for cleaning. Cleaning agents after prolonged use can cause damage
to stainless steel.
The main body can also be cleaned with warm soapy water. Remove the head unit and element before
cleaning takes place.
The head unit cannot be immersed in water, but can be wiped down with a damp cloth.
After cleaning as above, please use a dry cloth to clean the appliance to ensure there is no water on the
heating element and in the water oil pan.
