When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces or hot liquids. Use handles or knobs.
Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts
or from spilled hot liquid.
3. To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do
not immerse cord, plugs, or hot pot in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children.
5. Hot pot must be operated on a flat surface away from the edge
of counter to prevent accidental tipping.
6. 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.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or
after the appliance malfunctions, or has been dropped or dam-
aged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number
for information on examination, repair, or adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or injury
to persons.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces, including the stove.

when not in use, and before cleaning.
12. To prevent burns, allow to cool before cleaning.
13. Do not allow hot pot to boil dry.
14. To avoid possible steam damage, turn spout away from walls or
cabinets during use; use protective pad under hot pot to prevent
damage to wood finishes.
15. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage
appliance on the same circuit.
16. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a
heated oven.

CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
2 3
This appliance is intended for household use only.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not operate another high
wattage appliance on the same circuit with the hot pot.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one
wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If
the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an
electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance 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 appliance. 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.
To avoid burns and reduce the risk of personal
injury, use extreme caution when carrying the hot pot containing hot
liquids. Do not pour in the direction of people or over people.
