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
This fryer is equipped with a timer. When the timer has counted down to 0, the
fryer produces a bell sound and switches off automatically.
Note: If the pan is pulled out during cooking, your fryer switches off automatically.
