CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an elec- trical outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload do not use another high wattage appliance on the same circuit with the fryer.

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash basket, lid (with all filters removed) and oil reservoir according to directions in “Cleaning Your Fryer” on page 6.

CAUTION: Do not immerse fryer, cord or plugs in water or other liquid.

WARNING: Serious Hot-Oil burns may result from a Deep-Fat Fryer being pulled off a countertop. Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of the counter when it may be grabbed by children or become entangled with the use.

DO NOT USE WITH AN EXTENSION CORD.
