contains electrical components and heating elements, in
water. Do not rinse under the tap.
• TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK, do not put liquid of any
kind into the Main Unit Housing containing the electrical
components.
• THIS 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 qualied electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
• MAKE SURE the appliance is plugged into a wall socket.
Always make sure that the plug is inserted into the wall
socket properly.
• TO PREVENT FOOD CONTACT with the heating
elements, do not overll the Fry Basket.
• DO NOT cover the Air Intake Vent or Air Outlet Vent
while the Power AirFryer XLTM is operating. Doing so will
prevent even cooking and may damage the Unit or cause
it to overheat.

reaches several hundred degrees F. To avoid personal
injury, never place hands inside the Unit unless it is

similarly qualied person in order to avoid hazard.

reach of children when it is in operation or in the “cooling
down” process.

not plug in the power cord or operate the Unit controls with
wet hands.
