IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING APPLIANCE.
2. DO NOT USE WITH AN EXTENSION CORD. Use of this 1800-WATT fryer on the same circuit or fuse with other electrical products or appliances may trip a 15-amp circuit breaker or blow a 15-amp fuse. NEVER replace the
fuse with one rated higher than the capacity of the circuit. Doing so could result in an electrical fire.
3. Hot oil can cause very serious burns. The appliance is hot during operation and retains heat for some time after being switched off. Do not touch hot surfaces such as oil reservoir or metal surface.
4. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the Heater Assembly or the Breakaway Cord
™
in water
or other liquids..
