RECAUTIONS
• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric
parts in water or other liquids.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
• Do not use this appliance outdoors.
• Always check to ensure handles/legs are assembled and fastened properly.
Over tightening can result in stripping of screws or cracking of handles/legs.
• Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To
disconnect, turn any control to “OFF”, then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
• Your appliance has a short cord as a safety precaution to avoid pulling, tripping
or entanglement. Position the cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the
counter, table or other area or touch hot surfaces.
• While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, make
sure the cord has the same or higher wattage rating as the griddle (wattage is
stamped on the underside of the plug protector). If the appliance is of the
grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounded-type 3-wire cord. To
avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement, position the extension cord so that it does
not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other area.
• Use an electrical outlet that accommodates the polarized plug on the appliance.
On a polarized plug, one blade of the plug is wider than the other. To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet or extension cord, reverse the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to
modify the plug in any way.
• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or
extension cord feels hot.
• Keep the cord away from hot parts of the appliance and hot surfaces during
operation.
• CAUTION: Risk of fire or electric shock. Only operate this appliance with the WB
#8 plug in place.
