1. Before cleaning, unplug from the outlet, detach the cord from the unit, and allow the oil and
unit to cool completely. (The oil can take at least 2 hours to cool.) Do not attempt to move
the deep fryer while it is still hot.
2. Detach the lid by grasping both sides rmly and pulling up from the unit until it pops off.
Empty the cooled unit of the cooking oil.
3. Using a soft sponge or cloth, wash the unit tank and fry basket with warm water and mild
detergent, rinse, and dry thoroughly. CAUTION: Never immerse the Fry Guy or cord in water
or any other liquid or place in the dishwasher. Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads
to clean the Fry Guy, as they may damage the surfaces.
4. The lid and fry basket are top-rack dishwasher-safe. Remove the basket handle before
washing in the dishwasher.
5. Be sure all parts are clean and dry before storing. Never wrap the cord tightly around the
appliance; keep it loosely coiled.
• Before deep frying, remove excess moisture from food by blotting with a paper towel.
Moist foods cause excess foaming and splattering. Even small amounts of water may cause
oil to splatter.
• Use only good-quality vegetable oil for deep frying. Deep frying foods in butter,
margarine, olive oil, or animal fat is not recommended because those fats begin to smoke
at a lower temperature.
• Avoid overlling. Putting too much food in the fryer at one time will lower the oil temperature
excessively, causing your food to absorb more oil and become greasy.
• Have a landing spot ready for your fried food to drain excess oil, such as a paper towel-lined
plate or a wire cooling rack set in a rimmed baking sheet.
