followed including the following:
1. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
2. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the Brio
in water or other liquids.
3. 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 service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
5. The use of other accessories that are not intended to be used with
the Brio is not recommended. Doing so may damage the Brio and can
cause accidents.
6. NOT INTENDED FOR OUTDOOR USE.
7. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
8. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
9. Do not place on or near a hot gas, electric burner, or in a heated oven.
10. Extreme caution must be used when moving the Brio containing hot oil or
other hot liquids.
11. To disconnect, turn the Brio “OFF”, then remove plug from the wall outlet.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (Continued)
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Read and understand the entire manual before using the Brio.
DO NOT USE THE UNIT FOR OTHER THAN INTENDED USE.
Note: Put the Brio on a surface that is horizontal, even, and stable.
This appliance is intended for normal household use. It is not intended to be
used in environments such as a kitchen staff of shops, offices, farms, or other
work environments. Nor is it intended to be used by clients in hotels, motels,
bed and breakfasts, and non-residential environments.
NOTICE: THE FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THE IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS, ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS, OR THE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR SAFE USE IS A MISUSE OF YOUR BRIO THAT CAN VOID YOUR
WARRANTY AND CREATE THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY.
Electrical Information
A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is
provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords
or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised
in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension
cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it could be pulled on or tripped over
unintentionally. The Brio should be operated on a separate electrical
outlet from other operating appliances due to wattage limitations.
The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to t into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
3. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord
should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

PROBLEM: POSSIBLE CAUSE(S): RESOLUTION(S):
White smoke is
coming out of
the product.
You are frying greasy
foods.The Fry Pan
Basket Net contains
greasy residue from
previous uses.
When preparing greasy
ingredients in the Air
Fryer, large amounts
of oil can smoke and
inltrate Fry Pan Basket.
The oil will produce
white smoke and the
Fry Pan Basket might
become hotter than
usual. This will not affect
the nal cooking effect.
White smoke is caused
by grease heating up in
the Fry Pan Basket.
Clean Fry Pan Basket
properly after each use.
French fries are fried
unevenly in the Brio.
You did not soak the
potato sticks properly
before you fried them.
You did not use the
right potato type or
they were not fresh.
Soak potato sticks in a
bowl of water for at least 30
minutes, take them out, and
dry with paper towels.
Use fresh potatoes and make
sure they stay rm during
frying.
French fries are not
crispy when they
come out of the Brio.
The crispiness of the
fries depends on the
amount of oil and water
in the fries.
Dry the potato sticks
properly before adding the
oil and placing in the Brio.

for a crispier result. Add
slightly more oil to potatoes
before placing in Brio for a
crispier result.
