Before using for the first time
Cleaning before the first use
Before using the fryer for the first time, it must be cleaned to remove any foreign materials or dust as follows: Make sure the drain valve is closed. Fill the reservoir with approximately 1 gallon (4 l) of water and add a small amount of mild dishwashing liquid. Make sure the water level is no higher than the maximum level marked on the rear of the reservoir Turn the control knob clockwise to 275°F (130°C) and bring the water to a boil. Once the water starts to boil, turn off the fryer by turning the control knob counter-clockwise to �0�. Allow water to cool to a safe temperature before draining. Empty the water into a heat resistant container by opening the drain valve (see the �After frying� section). Rinse the reservoir thoroughly with clean hot water. Close the drain valve, raise the heating element, and dry the reservoir with a clean cloth.
