WARNING
• Do not use the fryer without oil. The fryer will
be severly damaged if heated dry.
• This fryer has a thermal cut-out, thus preventing
overheating.
• Plug cord into a 120 volt AC outlet.
• If your product is provided with a polarized
alternating current plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other), this plug will fit
into the power outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug.
If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug.
• Before using the fryer for the first time, wash
the aluminum pot, basket and lid (remove the
filter) thoroughly with hot soapy water, careful-
ly dry the aluminum pot to maintain its attracti-
ve finish.
• Should the fryer leak, contact your nearest Ser-
vice Center or authorized Dealer for qualified
assistance.
• To assure safe operation, oversized foods or
utensils must not be inserted into the fryer.

allowed to use this product unsupervised.
• Children should not be allowed to play with
this appliance.
• During use and when the oil is hot, the pipe
compartment inspection door must always
be closed.
• It is totally normal that, on first use, the
appliance emits a “new appliance” smell.
If this happens, aerate the room.
• To avoid injury or burns, do not touch any
metal parts on the deep fryer because they may
be hot!
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks resulting from being entangled in or trip-
ping over a longer cord.
