IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
Read all instructions, labels, and warnings before operating.
This appliance uses hot oil; it is very important to be sure the unit is placed
on a safe, dry, level surface while the oil is hot. Make sure the cord is not
loose or hanging where it may be tripped on.
DO NOT MOVE THE DEEP FRYER WHEN OIL IS HOT OR DURING COOKING.
Always use oven mitts or pot holders when touching handles or knobs. Do
not touch hot surfaces.
To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the unit, the cord,
or plug in water or other liquid.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Be sure to turn the
unit OFF before disconnecting. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off
parts and before cleaning.
Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the
appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or
electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number
listed on the cover of this manual.
Do not use outdoors.
The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance
manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of table or
counter.

place flammable materials in or close to the Fryer such as paper, cardboard,

break off the pad and touch electrical parts resulting in a risk of electrical
shock.

Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into electrical outlet. To
disconnect, grasp plug and remove from outlet. Do not yank on cord.

GROUNDED PLUG (Certain Models Only)
As a safety feature, this product is equipped with a grounded plug, which will only fit into
a three prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. Improper connection of
the grounding conductor may result in the risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
POLARIZED PLUG (Detachable Cord Models Only)
This appliance has a polarized plug — one blade is wider than the other. To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in any way.
DETACHABLE POWER CORD (Certain Models Only)
In models with a magnetic detachable power cord, be sure the cord is properly
attached by aligning the DOT on the plug to the DOT on the unit, before plugging in. A
breakaway/detachable power cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. The use of an extension cord is
not recommended. However, if it is absolutely necessary, be sure that the cord is (1) No.
14 AWG minimum size and rated no less than 1875 watts; (2) UL Listed; (3) as short as
possible (long cords can overheat, as well as trip circuit breakers); (4) not used for
operating more than one appliance at a time.
