IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

When using electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

WARNINGS

1 This appliance can be used by

persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

2 Keep the appliance and its cord out

of reach of children. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used by children. Close supervision is necessary when used near children

3 Children should not play with

the appliance.

4 NEVER use electrical socket

below counter.

5 NEVER connect this appliance to

an external timer switch or separate remote-control system.

6 When using this appliance, provide

at least 6 inches (15.25 cm) of space above and on all sides for air circulation.

7 To protect against electrical shock

DO NOT immerse cord, plugs, or main unit housing in water or other liquid. Cook only in the basket provided .

8 Regularly inspect the appliance

and power cord. DO NOT use the appliance if there is damage to the power cord or plug. If the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any way, immediately stop use and call Customer Service.

9 DO NOT use an extension cord. A

short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk of children grabbing the cord or becoming entangled and to reduce the risk of people tripping over a longer cord.

10 ALWAYS ensure the appliance is

properly assembled before use.

11 DO NOT cover the air intake vent

or air outlet while unit is operating. Doing so will prevent even cooking and may damage the unit or cause it to overheat.

Before placing removable basket into the main unit, ensure basket and unit are clean and dry by wiping with a soft cloth.

13 This appliance is for household

use only. DO NOT use this appliance for anything other than its intended use. DO NOT use in moving vehicles or boats. DO NOT use outdoors. Misuse may cause injury.

14 Intended for worktop use only. Ensure

the surface is level, clean and dry. DO NOT move the appliance when in use.

15 DO NOT place the appliance near the

edge of a worktop during operation.

16 DO NOT use accessory attachments not

recommended or sold by SharkNinja. Do not place accessories in a microwave, toaster oven, convection oven, or conventional oven or on a ceramic cooktop, electric coil, gas burner range or outdoor grill. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by SharkNinja may cause fire, electric shock or injuries.

17 ALWAYS ensure basket is properly

closed before operating.

18 DO NOT use the appliance without

the removable basket installed.

19 DO NOT use this appliance for

deep-frying.

20 DO NOT place appliance on hot

surfaces or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

21 Prevent food contact with heating

elements. DO NOT overfill when cooking. Overfilling may cause personal injury or property damage or affect the safe use of the appliance.

22 DO NOT place items on top of unit

at any time.

23 Socket voltages can vary, affecting

the performance of your product. To prevent possible illness, use a thermometer to check that your food is cooked to the temperatures recommended.

24 Should the unit emit black smoke,

unplug immediately. Wait for smoking to stop before removing any cooking accessories.

25 DO NOT touch hot surfaces.

Appliance surfaces are hot during and after operation. To prevent burns or personal injury, ALWAYS use protective hot pads or insulated oven mitts and use available handles.

26 Extreme caution must be used

when the appliance contains hot food. Improper use may result in personal injury.

27 This appliance has a polarized plug

(one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into 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 attempt to modify the plug in any way.

Indicates to read and review instructions to understand operation and use of product.

Indicates the presence of a hazard that can cause personal injury, death or substantial property damage if the warning included with this symbol is ignored.

Take care to avoid contact with hot surface. Always use hand protection to avoid burns.

28 Spilled food can cause serious burns.

Keep appliance and cord away from children. DO NOT let cord hang over edges of tables or counters or touch hot surfaces.

29 The basket and crisper plate become

extremely hot during the cooking process. Avoid physical contact while removing the basket or plate from the appliance. ALWAYS place basket or plate on a heat-resistant surface after removing. DO NOT touch accessories during or immediately after cooking.

30 Cleaning and user maintenance

should not be carried out by children.

31 To disconnect, press the power

button to turn off the unit, then unplug from socket when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before cleaning, disassembly, putting in or taking off parts and storage.

32 DO NOT clean with metal scouring

pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating the risk of electric shock.

33 Please refer to the Cleaning &

Maintenance section for regular maintenance of the appliance.
