IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord,
plugs, or (state specific part or parts in question) in water or
other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used
by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Al-
low to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug
or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in
any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized ser-
vice facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors (this item may be omitted if the product
is specifically intended for outdoor use).
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch
hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a
heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance
containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
12. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the
wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then re-
move plug from wall outlet.
Safety

11
13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
14. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is in-
tended 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 mod-
ify the plug in any way.
15. a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply
cord) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becom-
ing entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension
cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
c) If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension
cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance;
2) The 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; and
3) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set
or extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire
cord.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized
service representative.

moving the insert.
To ensure that the food is cooked evenly, you should redistribute / turn the food
after half the cooking time by removing the insert, carefully shaking the food
and reinserting the insert back into the device. Alternatively, place the insert on
a heat-resistant surface and turn / distribute the food with the help of the ap-
propriate utensils.
