Using this Frymate fryer filter is easy. First, make sure your fryer is turned off and cooled down. Then, place the filter inside the fryer. When the fryer is in use, the filter will catch excess oil and debris. After each use, remove the filter and clean it with warm, soapy water. Make sure to dry it completely before putting it back in the fryer. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the stainless - steel material. Store the filter in a dry place when not in use to keep it in good shape.
