in water or other liquid.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
completely before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning or storing
the appliance.

the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.

(call 860-738-2200 first) for examination, repair or adjustment.(*Canadian

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This product is for household use only.

NOTE: A short power supply cord (or cord set) has been provided to reduce

the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised
in their use. If a long cord set or extension cord is used, the marked electrical
rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over accidentally.

The high-tech warming surface will remain unblemished for a long time with
appropriate care. The warming surface and high-grade, long-life stainless chafing
dishes allow for an attractive alternative for keeping appetizers and other foods

warm. For best results use nylon, plastic, wooden or rubber utensils. Metal
utensils may be used with care but should not be used to cut food on the cooking
surfaces.
