the appliance. Never pour liquid into empty heated pot.

Detachable Cord Instructions

CAUTION: A short detachable power supply cord is provided to reduce

the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord, and from young children pulling on the power cord,
tipping over the fondue pot and its hot contents. The cord is designed to
break away from the fondue pot quickly and smoothly when pulled, to
prevent the unit from tipping over.

The Detachable Power Cord is designed for use with designated Fondue
Pot only. Do not try using it on any other appliances.

Do not use with an extension cord.
WARNING: Serious burns may result from a fondue pot being pulled off

a countertop. Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of the counter
or be placed where children or others may pull on it or become entangled
in it.

The Detachable Power Cord may present a risk of electric shock and
choking. Keep the cord out of reach from children and infants.

Polarized Plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As
a safety feature 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 in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
