When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:
Read and follow the instructions for use. Keep them for future use.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) it is 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.
Do not use with an extension cord. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
The cord is equipped with a detachable magnetic connector. The magnetic connector should be attached directly to the fryer. THIS SHOULD BE DONE PRIOR TO PLUGGING THE CORD INTO THE WALL OUTLET.
