CLEANING CAUTION: Do not spray with hose or steam cleaner. Doing so will cause extensive damage (not covered under warranty). Daily Clean your fryer regularly. If regular cleaning is neglected, grease will be burned on and discolorations may form. These may be removed by washing with detergent or soap and water. Particularly stubborn discolorations may be removed with a self-soaping scouring pad or a paste made of water and a mild scouring powder applied with a plastic open pad or sponge.
Fingerprints Fingerprints are sometimes a problem on highly polished surfaces of stainless steel. They can be minimized by applying a cleaner that will leave a thin, oily or waxy film. Wipe cleaner on and remove excess with a soft dry cloth. After using, subsequent fingerprints will usually disappear when wiped lightly with a soft cloth containing a little of the cleaner. If the surface is especially dirty to start with, wash first with soap or detergent and water.
