IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1.
Read all instructions before operating.
2.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs if applicable.
3.
This appliance produces heat. Do not use appliance on any surface that may be
sensitive to heat damage.
4.
Remove all packaging plastics and other materials from unit before operating.
5.
Wash all removable accessories before using for the first time.
6.
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or appliance itself
in water or other liquids.
7.
Close supervision is necessary when appliance is used by or near children.
8.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts.
9.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the
nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
10.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may cause injuries.
11.
Do not place any of the following materials in the unit: Paper, cardboard, plastic
and / or similar non-food materials.
12.
Some countertop and table surfaces, such as Corian
®
, wood, stone and/ or
laminates, are not designed to withstand prolonged heat generated by certain
appliances. It is recommended by countertop manufacturers and Maxi-Matic that
a hot pad or trivet be placed under your Elite deep fryer to prevent possible
damage to the surface.
13.
Do not use outdoors.
14.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
15.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
16.
Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into wall outlet. To
disconnect, turn control(s) to OFF position, then remove plug from wall outlet.
17.
Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in the appliance as they
may cause a fire or risk of electrical shock.
18.
A fire may occur if the appliance is covered or touching flammable material
including curtains, draperies, walls and the like when in operation.
19.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch
electrical parts, involving a risk of electrical shock.
20.
Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of a
material other than metal or glass.
21.
Always place the deep fryer on a stable surface and keep all flammable materials
away from the unit during operation.
22.
Make sure that the deep fryer is never near or on a switched-on stove or cooking
surface.
23.
Before you use the deep fryer it must be filled with the required amount of oil or
fat. **Never use the deep fryer without oil or fat because this could damage the
unit.
24.
If the deep fryer and/or cord are damaged, they must be repaired by a
professional service department. Do not try to repair the unit yourself or replace
the damaged cord. This requires special tools. Always contact our Customer
Service Department for replacement parts.
25.
Be sure not to damage the heating element. (Do not bend or dent.)
