IMPORTANT NOTES
1. Your unit is equipped with a grounded, current-carrying plug. This plug
will fit into any 3 pronged outlet. This is a safety feature.
2. Electrical connection must be a proper outlet for the 3 pronged cord.
Before connecting power, make sure the voltage and frequency
correspond to the data plate on the unit.
3. A short power cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
accidents such as tripping, entanglement, etc.
-If a long cord set or extension cord is used:
(A) The marketed electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
(B) The longer cord should be arranoed so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
accidentally.
4. When performing any cleaning or maintenance to this unit, be sure to
unplug from power outlet first, and allow to cool.
5. Call Cadco Customer Service at 860-738-2500 with any questions or
service needs.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Avoid letting water or food drop or boil over onto heating element.
If liquids or other foreign material are allowed to drip down through
the element pan and into the housing, the warranty is voided.
2. Rocker switch light will come on when hot plate is plugged into electric outlet
and the rocker switch is put in “ON” position.
Round signal light(s) will come on when heat control knob is turned from“OFF”
to a heat setting. They will cycle on & off as the element maintains temperature.
3. As with all countertop hot plates as well as stovetops, the most efficient
cooking/heating will be done when using pans that are closest in diameter
to the heating element. For best results, the pot or pan used should not
exceed the heating element diameter.
CSR-1T & CDR-1T: 6” diameter element(s)
CSR-3T: 8” diameter element.
4. Be sure your Hot Plate is resting level on countertop. Avoid using pans that
are unstable and easily tipped.
5. To avoid excessive heat on wall(s) while cooking, always keep a space
of at least 4” between your hot plate and your rear and side walls.
6. To avoid harm to your countertop, place hot plate on a wooden cutting
board or hot pad when in use.

cleaning. Caution: Heating element may be hot without glowing red.

2. Clean the elements by gripping an element at the point opposite where it

higher than it will go easily.)

allowed to drip down through the element pan and into the housing,
the warranty is voided.
