Using this Frymate fryer filter is a breeze. Just place it into your compatible Frymaster deep fryer before you start cooking. It's designed to fit 18' W x 18' D frying areas. As you fry your food, the filter will catch loose food particles, preventing them from falling into the cold zone and burning, which helps keep your oil clean and fresh. After you're done frying, simply remove the filter. To maintain it, wash the stainless - steel filter with warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly. This will ensure its durability and keep it working effectively. Remember, this filter is only for use with the SG18S/65C+/SR62/SR162 models, so make sure your fryer is one of these before using it.
