Does it pool if using oil

I would not use enough oil normally to pool. I just use enough to wipe the area. Oil will always pool somewhere because seldome is the cooking surface level.

My husband says yes. However, he adds that you might want to cover your hands with gloves after you use the oil, because they will be greasy.

Of course, it lubricates it and cleans it.. I use every time ! Just wipe down excess oil, and put away for next time!

yes it does its pretty small i don't even use it i just wash it down with water after every use and them spray it with lubricant spray or you can use the oil that it comes with the order too

Unfortunately, it does not. The oil has to be cooled and poured. BUT, still one of the best fryers I've ever used. We do a lot of tailgates, fundraisers, and dinners, frying fish. This moves the frying along!!

No, it doesn't need oil. It's just the water pump. There are three bolts to attach it, and then you connect the hoses in the appropriate spots. You just replace it exactly the same as the one you remove.

Yes. I haven't used it yet because my Aquabot vacuum is running in pool for that reason. Sand doesn't seem to settle in corner like the leaves and such.

no if you use a wine bottle but most people put water in then the oil because the oil floats on water and you dont have to use so much oil

Yes. It recommends putting a little vegetable oil into the inlet ( I guess for initial lubrication) then submerge the end and start it up. Even if it looses prime during use, it will self prime and pick back up. This is an awesome little pump. Pumped alot of water from under my house in recent heavy rains

If you have a pump, yes. The connection to the pool is thru two hoses that all you do is tighten the clamp.

Not completely sure. It didn't work as well as I'd hoped for my pool. Didn't last long.

No. What I do is wait till the oil cools then pour it into a glass measuring cup and wash it out. After u dry the unit pour the oil back into the unit but only the clear oil. I clean after each use and bring up to oil line and this is good for at least 4 times than I start with new oil. I bought this for my son and had to tell him the same thing and it saves on oil. Note Do not do this if cooking fish it holds the taste.

No. The oil is encased in the heater. No muss, no fuss! It's a great heater!

Yes. It is part of the unit. You do not need to fill or re-fill the unit. The oil does not diminish but heats and radiates the heat.

No, you do not have to remove the oil between uses, I leave it in there indefinitely, and continue to fill it as needed

Heating element is buried into the bottom and well... the oil should only be drained when the oil has cooled... so if the oil is hot of course your drain hose will be hot.

The oil is used for lubrication of the pump and valves. If you don't use oil, the pump bearings will eventually seize up. It will not pull a vacuum. The oil is also used for cooling.
