Additional Safety &

Operational Information

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, be sure the marked electrical rating is at least
as great as the electrical rating of this appliance. The extension cord
should be positioned such that it does not drape over the counter or table
top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. The electrical
rating of this appliance is listed on the bottom panel of the unit.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has
one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk
of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified
electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.
This appliance is rated at 1400 watts and should be the only appliance
operating on the circuit.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:

1 READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2 Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

3 To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs, or

the unit in water or other liquid.

4 Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or

near children.

5 Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to

cool before putting on or taking off parts.

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 the nearest authorized service facility for exami­nation, repair or adjustment.

7 The use of attachments not recommended by the appliance

manufacturer may cause injuries.

8 Do not use outdoors.

9 Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot

surfaces.

10 Do not place the appliance near the hot gas or electric burner or

other heated oven, for this will cause fire.

11 Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance

containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

12 To disconnect, turn any control to “Off”, remove plug from wall

outlet. Always hold the plug. But never pull the cord.

13 Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

14 Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top. If Cook-Top should break,

cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken Cook-Top
and create a risk of electric shock.

15 Clean Cook-Top with Caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used

to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam
burn as some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface.
