Do not assemble, operate, or maintain the 

appliance until you read and understand the

information contained in this Owner’s Guide.

Safety precautions and warnings are provided 

in this Owner’s Guide and on the appliance. 

If these hazard warnings are not heeded, 

bodily injury or death could occur to you or to other 

persons.

Carolina Cooker® cannot anticipate every possible

circumstance that might involve a potential hazard.

The warnings in this Owner’s Guide and on the

appliance are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If a method

of assembly, use, or maintenance not specifically

recommended by us is used, you must satisfy yourself

that it is safe for you and for others. You should also

ensure that the appliance will not be damaged or be

made unsafe by the methods that you choose.

2.   Safety Nomenclature

2.1   General

Safety of the user and bystanders is one of the main

concerns in designing and developing a new product.

Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety

features as possible. However, every year many

accidents occur which could have been avoided by a

few seconds of thought and a more careful approach

to handling the appliance.

Most accidents are caused by failure to observe basic

safety rules or precautions. An accident can often

be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous

situations before an accident occurs. As you assemble,

use, or maintain the appliance, you must be alert to

potential hazards. You should also have the necessary

training, skills, and tools to perform any assembly or

maintenance procedures.

Improper operation and maintenance of this appliance

could result in a dangerous situation that could cause

injury or death.
