Warning and Safety instructions
Further safety notes
When using a portable appliance
near the fryer, make sure that its
power cord does not come into contact
with the heating element or reservoir of
the fryer.
Always make sure food is suffi-
ciently cooked or reheated. Many
factors affect the overall cooking time,
including the size and amount of food,
its temperature, and the recipe. Some
foods may contain microorganisms that
are only destroyed by thorough cook-
ing. If in doubt, select a longer cooking
or reheating time.
Always cook pork thoroughly to en-
sure that the meat is safe to eat.
Do not store or transport hot oil in
plastic containers. Plastic melts!
Frying oil is no longer usable and
must be replaced when it
becomes dark and thick, smells un-
pleasant, or froths and smokes at a
temperature of 340°F (170° C) or less.
Do not pour oil or fat down the
sink. Oil and fat can block the
drain pipes and/or cause serious sep-
tic problems. Consult with your local
sewage or sanitation authority for the
proper disposal of used oil or fat.

Allow hot oil to cool before draining
the fryer.
Before discarding an old ap-
pliance, remove the power cord
and any doors to prevent it from be-
coming a hazard.
