Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Hot oil can cause serious and painful burns.
To avoid the risk of electrocution or severe disfiguring electrical burns, do not let children handle or put electrical cords or plugs in their mouths.
To avoid the risk of electrocution or electrical burns, do not let the cord or plug come in contact with water or other liquid.
Use only a good, reliable standard brand of vegetable shortening or cooking oil for deep frying. Deep frying foods in butter, margarine, olive oil, or animal fat is not recommended because of lower smoking temperatures.
Before deep frying, remove excess moisture from food by blotting with
Use caution when deep frying flour tortillas. Flour tortillas contain air bubbles. During deep frying, oil can become trapped within these bubbles. If not properly drained the bubbles can burst and cause burns. Therefore, after deep frying tortillas, carefully raise them out of the cooking oil and allow oil to drain from the tortillas for approximately 30 seconds.
Always unplug cord from wall outlet and then from deep fryer when unit is not in use.
Always allow fryer to cool completely before removing oil and before cleaning.
