DOUBLE F ILTER

There are two kinds of filters: The oil filter (white filter) prevents release of oil vapor;
the carbon filter (black filter) prevents release of odors. To order additional filters,
please call our Customer Service Line at (800) 5975978.

After cleaning or replacing the filters, always make sure that the white oil
filter rests
on the metal surface below the carbon activated filter.

HINTS

to be cooked.
!
As a general guide, foods that have been pre-cooked in some way need a higher
temperature and less cooking time than those foods which are completely raw.
