SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• A short break-away power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord (or longer detachable cord) is not
recommended for use with deep fryers.
• Never plug in the control panel before it is installed in the body of the fryer with the heating element
inside the oil container.
• Do not immerse the control panel and heating element in water.
• When opening the lid after frying, open only partially then wait a moment to allow the steam inside
to escape before opening fully.
• To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
