IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
When using electric 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, which may be warm. Use
oven mitts.
3. To protect against electric shock do not
immerse cord, plug, or temperature
control 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, and before
cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. Call
our toll-free customer service number for
examination, repair, or adjustment.

CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table
or counter, or touch hot surfaces,
including stove.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when
moving an appliance containing hot oil
or other hot liquids.
12. Always attach plug to appliance first,
then plug cord into the wall outlet. To
disconnect, turn any control to MIN
then remove plug from wall outlet.
13. Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.
14. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,
assemble feet before using.

are assembled and fastened properly.
16. See instructions for assembly of

This appliance is intended for
household use only.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do
not operate another high wattage appli-
ance on the same circuit with the skillet.
This appliance is equipped with a ground-
ed-type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This
type of plug will only fit into an electrical
outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a
safety feature intended to help reduce the
risk of electrical shock. If the plug should
fail to fit contact a qualified electrician to
replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt
to defeat the safety purpose of the ground-
ing pin, by modifying the plug in any way.
The length of the cord used on this appli-
ance was selected to reduce the hazards
of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary
an approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension cord
must be equal to or greater than the rating
of the skillet. Care must be taken to arrange
the extension cord so that it will not drape
over the countertop or tabletop where it can
be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.
