WARNING

•Do not fill cookware beyond one-half full with liquid to allow room for the addition of food and to avoid boil-over of hot liquid. In some cases, depending on the weight or size of food, even less liquid will be required.

•Hot oil or water can cause severe burns and permanent disfigurement; use caution and common sense when using this product.

•Smoking oil is an indication that the oil is too hot and may ignite. Reduce flame immediately to avoid igniting oil. Never exceed 375° F.

•Frozen food should be completely thawed before placing in hot oil. Pat food dry before placing in hot oil. Never add water or food that is dripping wet to hot oil as this could cause oil to splash and cause severe burns.

•Do not move pan while in use or while pan contains hot liquid.

•Avoid bumping into cooker pan or pan handle to prevent hot liquid spills or overturning pan. Pan should only be used with a cooker suitable for large pans.

•Never place empty pan over an open flame. The heat can cause the bottom of the pan to melt. Always have liquid in pan prior to placing over flame.

•Do not leave pan unattended when hot or in use. Only adults are to use this product, keep children and pets safely away. Carefully monitor all activity around pan to avoid burns or other injuries.

•Carefully read and follow manufacturer’s warnings and instructions in the use of their cooker.

•In case of grease fire, do not use water to extinguish flame. Use fire extinguisher approved for use with oil or grease files or other appropriate means to extinguish flame.

•Always wear oven mitts/gloves to protect your hands from burns. Avoid touching hot surfaces.

•Use caution when walking or standing near pan as splattered oil may have created a slick surface.

•Always remove the strainer basket SLOWLY from pan to allow hot liquid to drain. Lifting strainer basket out of pan too quickly will cause hot liquid to spray out of basket and could result in severe burns for anyone near the pan.

•Always hang basket directly over pan on the hang tab (see illustration on page 2). This allows hot liquid to drain back into the pan. Hanging the basket in any other way could cause the pan to tip over, spilling hot liquid.

•Use extreme care when lifting basket out of pan or off hang tab. Always steady the pan by gripping the pan handle with one hand while SLOWLY lifting basket up with the other to ensure pan and basket are not stuck together. Failure to do so could create a situation where you pull the pan off the burner spilling the hot contents onto yourself or someone else. As contents may be heavy and oil may drip or splatter from the basket, extra attention must be used during this process to avoid overturning pan of hot liquid.

•When lifting basket out of pan, be sure to have proper clearance above rim to prevent overturning pan with hot liquid.

•After food is cooked, turn off cooker and remove food. Allow cooker, pot and liquid to cool completely before handling.

•Do not use this pan for other than its intended purpose.
