Notes on the plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug fits in 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 modify the plug in any way.

Notes on the cord

The provided short power-supply cord should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord is not recommended for use with this product. Always plug directly into a wall outlet or receptacle.

Plasticizer warning

CAUTION: To prevent plasticizers from migrating to the finish of the counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or place mats between the appliance and the finish of the counter top or table top. Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken. Permanent blemishes may occur or stains can appear.

Electric power

If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

Overheating protection

The fryer has an overheating protection system. If the inner temperature control system is invalid, the overheating protection is automatically turned on, and the fryer is no longer ready to be used. Unplug the power cord, let the fryer cool down, and send it to an authorized service center for repair.

Automatic switch-off

When the timer display has counted down to 0, the fryer produces a bell sound and switches off automatically.

Note: If the pan is pulled out during cooking, the fryer is switched off automatically.
