How do you drain the oil? Is there a drain with tube or must you take out the element, baskets, and pour?

you take out the element and baskets pour out oil and refill. I put it in the dishwasher for a good cleaning.

Take out the elements and pour. I have not done this yet, as I just started using it.

You'd need to take out the element & baskets, then the entire container that holds the oil can be lifted out so that you could drain the used oil. Hope this helped! :)

There is a drain plug right under the oil level sight gauge. Drain it there and then re-fill to the red dot on the sight gauge through the red filler cap on top.

The oil is contained in the unit itself. When you need to change the oil it has a little compartment underneath the handle. That will release a rubber tube to empty the old oil. Be ready to have a jar or pitcher ready because once that tube is open it drains very quickly.

As you are standing in front of the machine on the left side with the hood up you will see a yellow "stub". Take the piece of plastic covering the yellow stub by pulling the round plastic keeper out on the bottom side, once the keeper is out lift up on the piece of plastic and it will pop off. Twist and pull outward on the yellow stub and that will open the valve to drain the oil. the filter is on the opposite side and you dont have to take anything apart to get it off.

Use a pig funnel shaped in such a way as to pour the oil off into an appropriate container. You will likely need an assistant for this.

Yes, you push down an area of the black cap and the oil comes out a small hole. It's very thick, so sometimes I just undo the cap to get it out more quickly.

Yes. The basket has a collapsable handle on one side and a hook-like gadget on the other side to hold the basket off the bottom of the pan. However, it only holds the basket up a couple of inches. So, depending how much oil you use, you may have to hold the basket up to drain.

We use a funnel to drain the oil and then we remove the silver container to clean it out. Once washed and dried we then readded the oil.

No separate well. Just add water and then add the oil to it. A separate well would be nice but is probably only offered in higher end models.

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?

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.

You need to use a spoon to get it out. There is no way to pour it. Its kinda messy pouring the grease in but i still like it. Its agood size and works well for me.

Easy...the aluminum pot inside the Cool Daddy easily pulls out for your convenience to dispose of the oil, and then once washed place the aluminum pot back in the Cool Daddy for your next use. It just lifts right out.

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.
