POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade 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, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into
the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
The lid handle may get hot while cooking, use of an oven mitt while
handling is advised.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or
cooking unit in water or other liquid. CAUTION: Never submerge
the heating unit in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
5. Turn control to OFF before unplugging from wall outlet. 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.

Power Unit never needs lubrication. Do not attempt to service this product. Do
not immerse base in water or other liquid. A short power-supply cord is provided
to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer

cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over.
