Do not touch hot surfaces like bowl, lid and body shell during use and cool down period. Use handles or knobs to operate. Let the fryer and oil cool down to room temperature before carrying it from one location to another. 2. This unit is not meant for outdoor usage. 3. Before removing the bowl with oil inside, ensure that the appliance has cooled down to room temperature. 4. Always keep oil level between Max and Min Level. Check to be sure that the oil is at the correct level before pre-heating. 5. Oil may be hot during and after operation. Care should be taken while handling hot oil as it might cause burns. 6. While operating the wiper knob, care should be taken that the steam escaping from the filter cover will be hot and could burn. 7. Hot steam may escape from the filter cover during use. 8.

Always remember to pre-heat the oil for 15 minutes for best results, or until the heating light goes out for the first time. 3. Whenever possible let refrigerated foods stand at room temperature for around half hour before frying. For frozen foods, remove from freezer just before frying and remove any ice crystals. 4. Dry excess moisture from foods with paper towels before frying to reduce splattering. 5. Always keep the bottom of the bowl and the heating element clean so that they do not deposit any foreign substance. This could lower the efficiency and shorten the life of fryer. 6.
