PLEASE SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

17. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch
electrical parts, involving a risk of electrical shock.
18. Do not store any materials other than manufacturer’s recommended
accessories in this unit when not in use.
19. Do not place any of the following materials in the unit: paper, cardboard, plastic
and / or similar non-food materials.
20. Some countertop and table surfaces, such as Corian®, wood and/or laminates,
are not designed to withstand prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. It
is recommended by countertop manufacturers that a hot pad or trivet be placed
under your deep fryer to prevent possible damage to the surface.
21. Always place the deep fryer on a stable heat resistant surface and keep all
flammable materials away from the unit during operation.
22. Make sure that the deep fryer is never near or on a switched-on stove or
cooking surface.
23. Before you use the deep fryer it must be filled with the required amount of
oil or fat. **Never use the deep fryer without oil or fat because this could
damage the unit.
24. Never move the deep fryer during use. The oil becomes very hot. Wait until
the unit and the oil has completely cooled down before moving.
25. Never leave the deep fryer unattended while in use.
26. If the deep fryer and/or cord are damaged, do not try to repair the unit yourself
or replace the damaged cord. This requires special tools. Always contact our
Customer Service Department for replacement parts.
27. Be sure not to damage the heating element. (Do not bend or dent.)
28. The electrical component is equipped with a safety heat switch, which ensures
that the heating element can only function when the element is correctly placed
on the fryer.
29. In the case of overheating, there is a thermal protective device that will switch
off the fryer automatically. This device is a small reset button found on the back
side of the electronic control box. It can be re-activated by pushing the button in
again with a pointed object (e.g. a pen).
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks of injuring yourself from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if you exercise caution
during use.
3. If a longer cord is used please note the following:
The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance.
The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
If this appliance has a polarized plug (meaning one blade is wider than the other
one), please follow the below instructions:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet
only in one direction. 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 attempt to modify the plug
in any way.
MAGNETIC PLUG: This appliance is equipped with an easy break-away
magnetic plug.

30. If you use solid vegetable shortening, cut it into pieces and melt it over slow
heat in a separate pot beforehand, then slowly pour it into the deep fryer pot.

lead to deterioration of the appliance.
