IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,

and/or injury to persons basic safety precautions should always to be fol­lowed, including the following:

1.

Read all instructions carefully.

2.

Do not touch hot surfaces, use the handles or knobs. Always use oven
mitts when handling hot materials. Allow metal parts to cool before

cleaning. Allow the Rotisserie to cool thoroughly before putting in or

removing parts.

3.

When unit is not in use and before cleaning, unplug the Rotisserie from
wall outlet.

4.

To protect against electric shock, do not place cord, plug or appliance in
water or other liquids.

after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.

Return appliance to an authorized service facility for examination, repair

or adjustment.

they may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

Use of extension cords:

a) A short power supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be

provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or

tripping over a longer cord.

b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extensions cords are

available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

c) If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
and

2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.

d) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord

should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

Electrical power: If electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your
Rotisserie may not operate properly. The Rotisserie should be operated on
a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

This appliance has a polarized alternating current plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, as a safety feature, this

plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not insert
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still fails to fit, contact a qualified
electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT
THIS SAFETY FEATURE.
