WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

WARNING Burn Hazard.

• The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Serious hot-oil burns may result from a deep-fat fryer being pulled off a countertop. Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of the counter where it may be grabbed by children or become entangled with the user. Do not use a longer detachable power supply cord or extension cord.
• Hot liquid will splash if you miss the drain bracket and accidentally drop the frying basket into the hot liquid. Do not lean over the deep fryer when the lid is off.
