SHORT CORD PURPOSE
NOTE: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be
used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used:
(1) the marked electrical rating of the extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2)
the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped
over by
children or pets.
POLARIZED PLUG
If this appliance is equipped with a
polarized plug
(one blade is wider than
the other), please follow the below instructions:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a
polarized outlet only one way.
If you are unable to fit the plug into the
electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.
If the plug still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician.
Never use the plug with an extension cord unless the
plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord.
Do not alter the plug of
the product or any extension cord being used with this product.
Do not
attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
BEFORE FIRST USE
1.
Unpack contents. Remove any packaging materials such as plastic,
cardboard, or Styrofoam.
2.
Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the base and heating
elements
CAUTION: NEVER IMMERSE THE BURNER IN WATER OR ANY OTHER
LIQUIDS.
3.
The initial use of the appliance may produce a slight smell and
smoke. This is normal and harmless and it comes from the burning
of the protective substance applied to the heating elements during
manufacturing. The smoke and odor should go away with
subsequent use of the appliance. It is also recommended to run the
unit for 15 minutes on the LOW setting to eliminate the odor and
smoke before using it for the first time.
