IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical units, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

1. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
2. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the Brio in water or other liquids.
3. Do not operate the Brio with a damaged cord, plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
5. The use of other accessories that are not intended to be used with the Brio is not recommended. Doing so may damage the Brio and can cause accidents.
6. NOT INTENDED FOR OUTDOOR USE.
7. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
8. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
9. Do not place on a stovetop, near a hot gas, electric burner, or in a heated oven.
10. Extreme caution must be used when moving the Brio containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
11. To disconnect, turn the Brio "OFF", then remove plug from the wall outlet.
12. During air-frying, hot steam is released from the air outlet vent. Keep hands and face at a distance from the steam and from the air outlet vent. Also, be careful of hot steam and air when removing Fry Pan Basket.
13. Make sure the ingredients prepared in the Brio come out golden brown instead of dark brown and not burnt. Remove any burnt remnants from Fry Pan Basket during cleaning and before each use.
14. Never put the Brio against the wall or other appliances. There should be at least 3 inches of free space for the back side, left/right sides, and the upper side of the Brio.
15. Do not place anything on top of the Brio.
16. Unplug the Brio from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the Brio to cool before cleaning, putting on or taking off parts.

SEE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

Electrical Information

A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it could be pulled on or tripped over unintentionally. The Brio should be operated on a separate electrical outlet from other operating appliances due to wattage limitations. The 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.
3. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Read and understand the entire manual before using the Brio.

DO NOT USE THE UNIT FOR OTHER THAN INTENDED USE.
Note: Put the Brio on a surface that is horizontal, even, and stable. This appliance is intended for normal household use. It is not intended to be used in environments such as kitchen staffs of shops, offices, farms, or other work environments. Nor is it intended to be used by clients in hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, and non-residential environments.

NOTICE: THE FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THE IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS, ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS, OR THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USE IS A MISUSE OF YOUR BRIO THAT CAN VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND CREATE THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY.

5. If a lot of smoke is escaping from the air vent during operation, unplug the Brio immediately and contact Customer Service.*
