Cleaning the Presto 05466 Stainless Steel Dual Basket ProFry is important to maintain its performance and longevity. Here are the instructions for cleaning the fryer, as provided in the manual:
1. After the unit and oil have cooled completely, carefully lift the control assembly out of the fryer and wipe it with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the control assembly in water or wash it in a dishwasher.
2. Grab the cutouts on the sides of the removable pot and carefully lift the pot out of the deep fryer. If you plan to reuse the cooking oil, strain it to remove any food particles. Store the oil in a tightly sealed container away from heat and direct light.
3. Wash the removable pot, fry/steam baskets, fryer cover, and base in the dishwasher or in warm, sudsy water. Do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive kitchen cleaners on the removable pot, cover, or base. Avoid using bleaching agents to clean the fry/steam baskets.
4. If desired, the basket handles can be removed for cleaning. Squeeze the drain hooks and fold the handle into the basket until the handle bars are out of the brackets. Continue squeezing to remove both pegs from the bracket holes. After cleaning, reattach the handle, making sure both pegs are in the bracket holes and the handle bars are in the brackets. Fold the handle into the basket for storage.
5. Before reassembling the unit, make sure all parts are completely dry.
6. Periodically check the screws on the base handles and feet to ensure they are tight. Retighten, if necessary, with a standard #2 Phillips head screwdriver. Avoid overtightening, as it can result in stripping of screws or cracking of handles and feet.
Following these cleaning instructions will help keep your Presto 05466 Stainless Steel Dual Basket ProFry in good condition and ensure its continued performance.
