plug in water or other liquid. See instructions for cleaning.

◆ This appliance is not for use by children.

adjustment.

Toastmaster Inc. may cause injuries.

◆ Do not use outdoors or while standing in a damp area.

surfaces.

◆ Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated

oven.

◆ Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance

containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

◆ Always attach probe to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of
personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. Extension cords are available from local hardware stores
and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is
required, special care and caution are necessary. The cord must be: (1)
the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance (2) if the
appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding 3-wire cord, and (3) the cord must be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over accidentally.

POLARIZED PLUG: Some models have a 2-prong polarized plug, (one
blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of
electrical shock, this plug is intended to 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.

GROUNDED-TYPE PLUG: Some models have a 3-prong grounded­type plug. This plug will only fit into an electrical outlet made for a
3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If the plug should fail to fit the
outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature.

ELECTRIC POWER: If electric circuit is overloaded with other
appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be
operated on a separate electric circuit from other appliances.

This product is for household use only.

Temperature Control Probe: Use only the Temperature Control
Probe Model 1244 supplied with this product. Using any other
Te mperature Control Probe may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

Hints For Care and Use of Non-Stick Surface

preheat on medium for a few minutes.

dish washing liquid; DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL.
