KNOW YOUR ELECTRIC SKILLET

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.

POLARIZED PLUG

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 hazards resulting from
entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. AN EXTENSION CORD MAY

BE USED WITH CARE; HOWEVER, THE MARKED ELECTRICAL RATING
SHOULD BE AT LEAST AS GREAT AS THE ELECTRICAL RATING OF THE
SKILLET. The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter

or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or unintentially tripped over.
KEEP WARM SETTING: The TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE has a
“Keep Warm” range setting of approximately 160° to 180° F. The indicator light
will cycle on and off when this setting is maintaining the desired temperature.
NOTE: During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may
be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur
after a few uses. Only use with Temperature Control Probe number MPTC-5.
