SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts inside. 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 MARKEDELECTRICAL RATING SHOULD BE AT LEAST AS GREAT AS THE ELECTRICALRATING 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 unintentionally tripped over.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider

than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock,

this plug will 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.

CAUTION: Some countertops are more sensitive to heat, use care not to place SKILLET or SKILLET PAN on surfaces where heat may cause damage.

ELECTRIC POWER: If electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, skillet may not operate properly. Skillet must be operated on a separate circuit from other operating appliances.
