IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic
safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles
or knobs.
3. To protect against risk of electric shock,
do not immerse cord, plugs, or fryer
body in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool, before
putting on or taking off parts and before
cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with
a damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or is has been
damaged in any manner. Call our
toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, repair, or
adjustment.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for household
use only.
This appliance is equipped with a grounded-
type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This type of
plug will only fit into an electrical outlet made
for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature
intended to help reduce the risk of electrical
shock. If the plug should fail to fit contact a
qualified electrician to replace the obsolete
outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety
purpose of the grounding pin by modifying
the plug in any way.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload do not
use another high wattage appliance on the
same circuit with the fryer.
