Use this appliance for air frying ONLY. DO NOT use for deep-frying. DO NOT use this appliance for anything other than its intended use.

Be sure the appliance is in an appropriate location before you start using it. DO NOT move or relocate when in use. Extreme caution must be used when the glassware containers contain hot food, oil, or liquids. Improper use may result in spilled food that can cause serious burns or personal injury.

This appliance is for indoor household use only. DO NOT use outdoors or in moving vehicles or boats.

For countertop use only. Ensure the surface is level, clean, and dry. DO NOT place near the edge of the worktop.

To prevent the risk of fire or property damage, DO NOT place appliance or power cord on a stovetop. Never place on hot surfaces, near a hot gas or electric burner, or in an oven.

DO NOT cover the air intake vent or air outlet vent while unit is operating. Doing so will prevent even cooking and may damage the unit or cause it to overheat. Keep all objects 6 inches away from vent while unit is in use.

1. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.

2. Select a socket above the countertop that allows the cord to be routed out of reach of children and away from hot surfaces and appliance vents.

3. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to modify the plug in any way.

4. To reduce the risk of the appliance being pulled down, potentially resulting in serious burns or impact injury:

• DO NOT let cord hang over edge of table or counters.

• DO NOT use an extension cord.

• A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk of cord being grabbed or becoming entangled and to reduce the risk of people tripping over a longer cord.

Regularly inspect the appliance and power cord. If the appliance is damaged in any way (including the power cord or plug), DO NOT use. During operation, if the appliance malfunctions, immediately stop use and call Customer Service.

ALWAYS ensure the PowerPod is properly secured on a Ninja TempWare container before operating.
