My wife strains the oil while pouring it into a plastic container for re-use.

Take out the heating element..and wipe off with a paper towel..set aside. What I do next is line a fine strainer with cheesecloth. Remove the entire "tub" of oil from the fryer..be careful, the rims are sort of sharp. I use a canning funnel and mason jars...so just put the funnel in the jar...place the cheesecloth lined strainer in the funnel and slowly pour the oil....the big funnel fits perfectly in any Manson jar and the strainer filters your oil. When done, I put the "tub" in the dishwasher with all the other stuff I used. I store the oil in the fridge. I can get 3-4 uses before dumping the oil and starting again with fresh.

The heating element can come off by sliding off the part at the back. After the oil is completely cool, you now have a container (the black inside you are seeing) that can be lifted out from the base (the silver part with the handle). Or you can lift everything with the handle and pour but be sure to hold the black part so it doesn't just drop out and make a mess.

Remove the basket and heating element then pick it up and pour it thru cheesecloth into a container. Usually the same bottle it came out of with funnel. No big deal. Not that heavy.

Taking the oil out is a rather pain in the neck. I have found that if I leave it in the pan covered, it stays just fine. I've cooked in mine weeks after letting it sit in the cooker. It stays just fine and tastes great. I would however recommend using peanut oil. Again, don't use the same oil to cook potatoes that you would use to cook breaded foods. I cook coated chicken, fish and shrimp in the same oil,but will change it for potatoes.

I have a mix of oil in a spray bottle and spray it directly into the top opening while it is off. I actually give it 2-3 good sprays then turn it on. Good luck!

Super Easy. Take off the porcelain cover, lift the top off the container where the water and oils are put and rinse out. When changing oils I will also take a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and wipe the inside container. The plug that is attached is removable from the base too so all I take is the inside unit to be cleaned out.

Easy, the blue plastic circle next to the handle is the spout. Pull it up, unscrew it and pour your oil. You may want to punch a very small hole in the opposite side to allow for air to escape which will prevent any gushing. Happy cooking.

We have no problem getting the lid off. Simply open and pull up. Our problem is keeping the lid CLOSED!!!!! Until the oil warms up we have to sit something heavy on the lid so it stays closed!!!!! After the oil warms up it stays shut. Thought I'd like this more than I do actually.

You are ready to go. If you are spraying oil, have some extra thinner for cleanup

Oil is supplied with the fan. There's a oil fill plug on the top,remove the plug and fill.

Smaller O-Ring goes under filter drain cap at bottom of the filter. Use 1/4" socket drive to remove the drain cap. Plastic tool is used to drain the oil left in the filter after the drain cap is removed.

The back bottom of the machine there is a small vent. That vent, it slides out and mine is a little tough to open, this is where you place the oil.

Wait until oil cools,Then get a plastic funnel and pour back into the oil container that the oil came in,cleaning the used oil at the same time.

You shake out the oil. It works fine for most things and the bottles do not leak. That said, it's not too hard to pry the hard plastic inserts out of the neck of the bottle and use your own dropper or syringe if you want to.

Hi Barry,There is no removable container that holds the oil. I transfer the oil (cooled) to a plastic bottle, either I save the bottle the oil came in or use another plastic bottle with a top. The fryer has a lip for pouring on the front corner. I remove the lid first then pour the oil into the bottle. Then I use paper towel to clean the inside before I wash the inside with a dish towel. I wash the lid also only I submerge it into the dish water (make sure to remove the filter first). It's a really quick and easy process. You could also purchase a dollar store container just for this purpose. Hope this helps....happy frying:) Hi Barry,There is no removable container that holds the oil.

Unlock the vacuum, allowing air to reenter. Then remove hose and pour out of front spout, being sure not to go too fast and get any in the pump section or spill. I refilled my oil containers.

You just lift out the container that holds the oil (once it has cooled) and I either poor it into an empty can and then fill the can with paper towels or, again, once it has cooled I just poor it into the trash.

Use a funnel to pour the oil into a glass bottle-shaped container that's easy to pour from. Also helps to hold the container so that the spout is near the edge on the long side of the can. The can's top is a rectangle, looked at from above. Hold the can so the long side of the rectangle is down with the spout close to the top's edge. Got it?

wipe out the bits with stiff brush or other similar thing. paper towel for excess oil. the oil can stay on the grill a long time without harm to the next batch. My unit died and I threw it away. Not well made inside I guess.
