Safety Instructions 4
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: Read all safety instructions before
using this appliance.
•
Read this use & care guide carefully before using
your new fryer module to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock or injury to persons.
•
Ensure proper installation and servicing. This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. Have the installer show you the
location of the circuit breaker or fuse so that you
know where to turn off power.
•
Warranty service must be performed by a Wolf
authorized service center.
•
Before performing any service, disconnect the power
supply to the module by switching off the circuit
breaker or removing the fuse.
The fryer module must be installed at least 15" (381)
from any open-flame cooking device or a Wolf
steamer module. The open flame may cause ignition
of oil, and contact between water and hot oil may
cause burns.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire when reaching
over heated surface units, cabinet storage space
located above the surface units should be avoided.
If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be
reduced by installing a ventilation hood that
projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (127) beyond
the bottom cabinets.
Fats and oils can ignite easily if they get overheated. Keep all flames away from the appliance.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
•
GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
•
Use sturdy, properly insulated gloves or pot holders.
Dish towels or other substitutes can become entangled, causing burns. Keep pot holders dry. Wet pot
holders create steam and cause burns. Keep pot
holders away from open flames when lifting or
moving utensils.
•
Use only fryer baskets included with the module.
•
Always properly clean and maintain the module as
outlined in care recommendations on page 14.
•
The stainless steel lid must only be placed over the
fryer module after it has cooled down.
•
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an
area where the fryer module is being used. Never
allow them to sit, stand or play on or around the
module at any time. Do not store items of interest to
children around or below the module.
•
When using the fryer module, do not touch the
module or immediate surrounding areas. These
surfaces become extremely hot and could cause
burns. Be certain that all controls are turned off by
touching the OFF ON touch pad and that the module
has cooled before touching or cleaning any surfaces.
Clothing fires are potential hazards. Do not wear
long flowing sleeves around the fryer module. They
are easily caught on pan handles or ignited by flareups. Highly flammable clothing, especially synthetic
fabrics, should not be worn while cooking.

Do not repair or replace any part of the fryer module
unless specifically recommended in literature
included with this appliance. All service is to be
referred to a Wolf authorized service center.

Do not use the fryer module for warming a room.
•
Do not store combustible, flammable or explosive
materials near the fryer module or adjacent cabinets.
