SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. There are no User Serviceable Parts
inside. The heating unit needs no lubrication or other service. Do not attempt to service this
appliance.
The short power cord is provided to reduce hazards that could result from a tangled cord or from
tripping over a long cord. If an extension cord is used, be sure that the electrical rating of the
cord is at least as great as the electrical rating (wattage) of the cooker. Ensure cord is placed so it
does not drape over a counter or table where it could be pulled on or tripped over.
