OVERHEATING PROTECTION

This appliance is equipped with an
overheating protection system. If the inner
temperature control system malfunctions,
the overheating protection system is
automatically turned on and the appliance
cannot be used. After this occurs, unplug
the appliance, remove the food, and allow at
least 30 minutes for the appliance to cool.
Only after the appliance has been left to
cool down completely, while on a stable
surface, carefully turn the appliance on
its side to access the bottom. Locate
the "RESET" button on the bottom (see
image) and using a pointed object, press
the "RESET" button and hold two seconds
to return to normal operation. After this is
done, the air fryer is operational again.

AUTOMATIC OFF-SWITCH

1. This appliance is equipped with a timer.
Once the timer has counted down to off
(O), a bell will sound and the appliance
will turn off automatically. To turn the
appliance off manually, simply turn the
timer knob counterclockwise to off (O)
until you hear the bell sound.
2. As a safety feature, this appliance will
shut off power if the pan is removed,
even partially, during cooking. The timer
will continue to count down but the
cooking functions will not operate. To
resume cooking, insert the pan back into
the appliance. Rapid heat technology
instantly reheats the appliance if you
open it, so pulling the pan out briefly will
not drastically disturb the process.
POLARIZED PLUG (120V models only)
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.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped
with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent
removal of the outer cover. To reduce
the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
attempt to remove the outer cover. There
are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Repair should be done only by authorized
service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
1) A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord.
2) If a long detachable power-supply cord
or extension cord is used,
a) The marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the
appliance,
b) The appliance is of the grounded
type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
c) The longer cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
Note: If the power cord is damaged,
please contact the warranty department
listed in these instructions.
