WARNING!
Shock Hazard: This appliance
has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that
reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug
fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by
modifying the plug in any way or using an
adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician
replace the outlet.
WARNING!
Burn Hazards.
•
Serious hot-oil burns may result from a
deep-fat fryer being pulled off a counter-
top. Do not allow the cord to hang over
the edge of the counter where it may be
grabbed by children or become entangled
with the user. Do not use with an extension
cord.
• Hot liquid will splash if you miss the drain
bracket and accidentally drop the frying
basket into the hot liquid. Do not lean over
the deep fryer when the lid is off.
