IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY • READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
10
WARNING: When using the Brio, basic safety
precautions should always be followed:
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 the Brio 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. FOR HOUSE-
HOLD USE ONLY.
7. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or
touch hot surfaces.
8. Do not place the Brio on or near a hot gas, electric
burner, or in a heated oven.
9. Extreme caution must be used when moving the Brio
containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
10. To disconnect, turn the Brio “OFF”, then remove plug
from the wall outlet.
11. During air-frying, hot steam is released from the air
outlet vent. Keep hands and face at a distance from
the steam and from the air outlet vent. Also, be careful
of hot steam and air when removing Trays, Racks, or
Rotisserie Cage and Skewer.
12. Never put the Brio against the wall or other appliances.
There should be at least 3 inches of free space for the
back side, left/right sides, and the upper side of the Brio.
13. Do not place anything on top of the Brio.

nuwavenow.com 11
ENGLISH
nuwavenow.com 11
14. Unplug the Brio from outlet when not in use and before
cleaning. Allow the Brio to cool before cleaning, putting
on or taking off parts.
15. Keep manual handy for future reference.
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 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 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.
