SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts inside. Power Unit never needs lubrication. Do not attempt to service this product. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with care. However, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the fondue. The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over intentionally.

Use only model ETC-1 temperature control probe.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the

other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet

only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse

the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not

attempt to defeat this safety feature.
