IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

CAUTION

installer may recommend that hot pans, pots, or electrical 

appliances should not be used directly on top of the 

countertop. If you are unsure, place a trivet or hot pad under 

the appliance before using it.

40.  DO NOT place your appliance on a COOKTOP

even if the cooktop is cool, because you could 

accidentally turn the cooktop on, causing a fire, 

damaging the appliance, your cooktop, and 

your home.

41.  Should the appliance emit black smoke, UNPLUG 

IMMEDIATELY and wait for smoking to stop. Allow the 

appliance to cool and wipe out excess oil and grease from 

the appliance.

42.  EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED when moving an 

appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids or when 

removing accessories or disposing of hot grease. This 

appliance is not intended for deep-frying foods.

43.  DO NOT clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off 

the pad and touch electrical parts, creating risks of electric shock.

44.  Oversized foods, metal foil packages, or utensils MUST NOT 

be inserted in the appliance as they may involve a risk of fire 

or electric shock. DO NOT overfill the appliance.

baskets closed. ALWAYS use the handles when opening  

and closing the baskets.

and the fan will continue running for 20 seconds to cool down

before handling, cleaning, or storing.

• 

The appliance is equipped with an internal microswitch that 

automatically shuts down the fan and heating element when the 

Basket is removed.

• 

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.

• 

NEVER use this appliance with an extension cord of any kind. 

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of 

becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Overheating Protection: 

Should the inner temperature 

control system fail, the overheating protection system will be 

activated and the appliance will not function. Should this happen, 

unplug the appliance. Allow time for the appliance to cool 

completely before restarting or storing.

Automatic Shut-Off: 

The appliance has a built-in shut-off device 

that will automatically shut off the appliance when the cooking 

time has completed. You can manually switch off the appliance 

by pressing the Power Button. The fan will continue running for 

20 seconds to cool down the appliance.

Electric Power: 

The appliance should be operated on a 

dedicated electrical outlet. If the electrical outlet is being used by 

other appliances, your new appliance may not operate properly.

Electromagnetic Fields: 

This appliance complies with all 

standards regarding electromagnetic fields. If handled properly and 

according to the instructions in this user manual, the appliance is
