IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts
inside. Do not attempt to service this product.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from entanglement or tripping over a long cord. An extension cord may
be used with care; However, the marked electrical rating should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the skillet. The extension cord
should not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
KEEP WARM SETTING
The TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE has a Warm setting of approxi-
mately 160° to 180°F. The indicator light will cycle on and off when this
setting is in use to indicate that the skillet is maintaining the desired tem-
perature.
IMPORTANT
Check the HANDLES/LEGS of your skillet periodically for looseness. If
needed, re-tighten with a screwdriver.
CAUTION:
Overtightening can
result in stripping of screws or cracking of handles and base.
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.
