Storing Fryer: Make sure all parts of fryer are clean and dry before storing. Place basket handle inside basket and
store inside covered 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 filter. Do not use any other charcoal filter as a substitute. Do not use fryer without a charcoal
filter.
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or property damage from oil overflowing due to using a dirty charcoal filter,
replace filter as recommended after every 10 to 12 uses. Do not use fryer without charcoal filter.
To remove charcoal filter, remove four screws from bottom side; set aside. Separate metal bottom from plastic cover.
Lift out charcoal filter and discard. Wash plastic cover and metal bottom in hot soapy water with a dishcloth, rinse
and dry. Place “this side up” facing you and vent slots over charcoal filter. See Diagram 7. Align screw holes and
reattach metal bottom to plastic cover using four screws. Do not over-tighten screws to prevent stripping of threads.
