The product, in the report: 1.2 litre Deep Fryer
Following is CC of correspondance with manufacturer;
Good morning;
My wife and I received a Bella Kitchen 1.2 liter fryer from our daughter and her family as a Christmas gift last year. The unit is your model number XJ-6K116G.
It has had light use and has been cleaned in accordance with the instruction manual and towel dried after each use. It has not been immersed in water. Up until last night it has operated to designed intent.
Please refer to the attached photos. There is one each of the front, the base, and of the interior of the appliance.
Last evening I experienced an unacceptable failure. I plugged the fryer into the outlet and set the thermostat to high in preparation for use. The indicator light came on and I went about preparing the rest of the meal. When the preheat cycle was complete and the light went out, I placed the chicken in the fryer basket, lowered the basket into the hot oil and installed the lip on the fryer. I set the timer for four minutes and went on preparing the meal. When the timer went off I turned around and was greeted with the sight of 350* oil pooled on the countertop beneath the fryer, across the countertop and down the face of the cabinetry, which was on the countertop adjacent to our Jenn Air gas cook top.
I immediately pulled the plug out of the receptacle in order to shut off the power to the unit and grabbed the fire extinguisher. This morning, after the mess was cleaned up, I washed the fryer and examined it carefully. The aluminum interior housing, which serves as the oil vessel, has numerous small holes in it, which allowed the oil to leak out of the fryer. See attached photos. The largest areas of aluminum decomposition are noted by the red arrows.
This failure poses an unacceptable safety hazard due to the potential for accidental contact with superheated cooking oil flowing over the countertop, not to mention damage to cabinetry and the potential for fire when the oil comes in contact with the adjacent gas cook top.
Your prompt reply to this matter is requested.
