< KY-C227D only >
• If oily smoke comes out from the oil in the pan, immediately
turn off the main power switch.
Otherwise, it may catch fire.
• Beware of spattering hot oil. Do not bring your face close to
the cookware.
This may cause burns.
• For deep-frying, do not use oil preheated by other
appliances, such as a gas range.
Doing so may cause fire because the "oil temperature control system" will not
work properly.
