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 deep fryer being pulled off a table, countertop or surface area.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a

contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
