4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. This appliance is not to be used by children.

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

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to Rival®(see warranty) for examination, repair, or adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Rival

may

cause injuries.

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 unintentionally.

Use only model MDTCP-1 Temperature Control Probe.

POLARIZED PLUG

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. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

Congratulations on the purchase of your New Rival®Fondue. This Fondue is equipped with the exclusive Rival®SureRELEASE™Power Cord System, which includes a detachable magnetic cord designed to separate from the unit when certain amounts of force are applied. (See details on pg. 4-5 for instructions on the proper usage of the detachable magnetic cord.) Note: This cord meets revised Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) Standard 1083 requirements effective May 30, 2001.
