IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

PREVENT INJURIES! CAREFULLY READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE!

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug, or the main body of the appliance or expose the electrical components to water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before handling, putting on or taking off parts, cleaning, or storing.
• Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped. Return the appliance to an authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended for use in this manual may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids, removing accessories, or disposing of hot grease.
• Always make sure the plug is attached to the appliance first. Then, plug the cord into a wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off" and then remove the plug from the outlet.
• Do not use this appliance for anything other than its intended use.
• A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk resulting from the cord being grabbed by children or becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• 
  Spilled food can cause serious burns. Keep the appliance and the power cord away from children. Never drape the cord over the edge of the counter and never use an outlet below the counter.
• The power 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.
• A fire may occur if this appliance is covered by or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation. Do not store anything on top of the appliance when in operation.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating risks of electric shock.
• Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed from materials other than metal or glass.
• Do not store any materials other than accessories included in this manual in this appliance when not in use.
• Do not place your appliance on a cooktop, even if the cooktop is cool, because you could accidentally turn the cooktop on, causing a fire, damaging the appliance, your cooktop, and your home.
  
• This appliance is intended for countertop use only.
• Do not place or use this appliance near water.
• When cooking, do not place the appliance against a wall or within 6 inches of other appliances. Do not place anything on top of the appliance. Always operate the appliance on a horizontal surface that is level, stable, and noncombustible.
• Before using your appliance on any countertop surface or other fragile surface, such as a glass tabletop, check with your countertop manufacturer or installer for recommendations about using appliances on your surfaces. Some manufacturers and installers may recommend protecting your surface by placing a hot pad or trivet under the appliance for heat protection. Your manufacturer or installer may recommend that hot pans, pots, or electrical appliances should not be used directly on top of the countertop. If you are unsure, place a trivet or hot pad under the appliance before using it.
• 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.
• Plug the power cord into a 120V outlet with no other appliances on the same outlet. Plugging other appliances into the outlet will cause the circuit to overload.
• Never tug the plug forcefully from the wall outlet.
• Do not plug in the power cord or operate the appliance controls with wet hands.
• Never plug the appliance into an electrical outlet below the surface where the appliance is placed.
• Never operate the appliance unattended.
• Should the appliance emit black smoke, unplug immediately and wait for the smoking to stop before handling the appliance. Allow the appliance to cool and wipe excess oil and grease from the appliance.
• Avoid touching moving parts.
• When in operation, hot air and steam are released through the air vents. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from the air vents. Do not cover the air vents while the appliance is operating. Doing so will prevent even cooking and may overheat or damage the appliance.
• While cooking, the internal temperature of the appliance reaches several hundred degrees Fahrenheit. To avoid personal injury, never place your hands inside the appliance unless it is thoroughly cooled.
• The appliance's outer surfaces and accessories may become hot during use. Wear oven mitts when handling the appliance during and after use, and to protect against hot steam and air released when opening the appliance.
• Do not overfill the appliance.
• Do not place any of the following materials in the appliance: paper, cardboard, plastic.
• 
  Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in the appliance because they may create a fire or risk of electric shock. Do not cover the Drip Tray or any part of the appliance with metal foil. This will cause the appliance to overheat.
• Never pour oil into the appliance or accessories. Fire and personal injury could result. This appliance is not intended for deep-frying foods.
• Do not expose the appliance to corrosive chemicals or vapors.
• This appliance is for home use only. If the appliance is used improperly or for professional or semi-professional purposes or if it is not used according to the instructions in the user manual, the guarantee becomes invalid and Empower Brands, LLC will not be held liable for damages.
• Never connect this appliance to an external timer switch or separate remote-control system.
• Never operate the appliance with the doors open. Do not leave the doors open for an extended period.
• Always ensure that nothing is protruding out of the appliance before closing the doors.
• Always close the doors gently; never slam the doors closed. Always use the handle when opening and closing the doors.
• The appliance must be operated with the Drip Tray in place, and the Drip Tray must be cleaned if it becomes more than half full.
• Never put accessories directly on the top of the lower heating elements.
