SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
BREAKAWAY CORD AND
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance features a breakaway cord
and polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). The breakaway cord is designed
to quickly disconnect from the appliance
when a pulling force is applied.
NOTE:
The
breakaway cord can fit into the appliance in
only one direction. Please refer to printing
on the cord connector that states “this side
up.” To reduce the risk of electric shock, a
polarized plug is used. This plug is intended
to fit only into a polarized outlet. If the plug
does not fit 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.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of
personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long
cord. An extension cord or longer detachable cord is not recommended for
use with the Cuisinart
TM
Professional Deep Fryer.
ELECTRIC POWER:
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance
may not operate. It should be operated on an electrical circuit that is free
from other appliances. If you are not sure of the reason for overloading or
cannot find a separate circuit, contact a qualified electrician.
