SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the
riskofelectricshock,thisplugwilltintothepolarizedoutletonlyoneway.Iftheplug
doesnotproperlytintotheoutletatrst,reverseit.Ifitstilldoesnott,contacta
competentqualiedelectrician.Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming
entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. Do not use the appliance with an extension
cord.
Magnetic Connector
The cord is equipped with a detachable magnetic connector. The magnetic connector
should be attached directly to the fryer. This should always be done prior to plugging
the cord into the wall outlet. The plug is equipped with a system that prevents the plug
to be inserted the wrong way. If the plug cannot be inserted into the socket at the back
of the deep fryer, please turn the plug upside down and respect the marking on the
magnetic plug showing the side that needs to be placed up.
Overheat Protection
In the event of overheating, the thermal link will automatically switch the unit off. This
canhappenifthefryerisnotlledwithsufcientoilorifsolidfryingfat(shortening)
is melted directly on the heating element or in the bowl. In the case of solid fat, the
heating element is unable to radiate the produced heat quickly enough. If the safety
thermal link switches the unit off, please reset the fryer by pushing the RESET button
located next to the grooves on the front of the control panel with a toothpick or similar
non-metallic object.
