Using your Frymate fryer filter is a breeze. First, simply place the filter into your compatible Frymaster deep fryer before starting to cook. It's designed to fit well into the 12 - inch by 15 - inch frying area. As you fry your food, the filter will catch loose food particles, keeping them from getting into the cold zone of the fryer and burning, which helps improve the oil quality. After you're done frying, carefully remove the filter from the fryer. You can clean it with warm, soapy water and a soft brush to remove any remaining debris. Make sure to dry it thoroughly before storing it for future use. Keep in mind that this filter is only compatible with specific Frymaster models (MJ140, GF14SD, and MJ35), so don't try to use it with other fryers. Also, if you notice any signs of damage or excessive wear, it's time to replace the filter to ensure it continues to work effectively.
