ELECTRICAL CORD AND PLUG INFORMATION
WARNING:
Your deep fryer has a short cord as a safety precaution to prevent personal injury or property damage
resulting from pulling, tripping or becoming entangled with the cord. Do not allow children to be near or use this deep
fryer without close adult supervision. Do not use with an extension cord. Serious hot oil burns may result from a deep
fryer being pulled off a table, countertop or surface area.
To avoid 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). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

CAUTION:
To prevent personal injury or electric shock, do not immerse fryer base, its cord or plug in water or other
liquid.
