IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
1
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.
4
To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or any
parts of the buffet burner in water or other liquids.
5
Do not operate appliance with damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to the nearest Authorized Service Center for examination,
repair, or adjustment.
6
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer may cause hazard or injury.
7
Do not use outdoors.
8
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated
oven or in a microwave oven.
9
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of table or counter, or touch
hot surfaces.
10
Do not use this appliance for anything other than its intended use.
11
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to
cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
12
To disconnect, turn the temperature control to “OFF”, then remove
the plug. Always hold the plug, never pull the cord.
13
Extreme caution must be used when moving any pot or pan
containing hot oil or other hot liquids from this appliance.
14
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad
and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.

Additional Safety Information
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may
be used with care; however, be sure the marked electrical rating is at least
as great as the electrical rating of this appliance. The extension cord
should be positioned such that it does not drape over the counter or table
top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. The electrical
rating of this appliance is listed on the bottom panel of the unit.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has
one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk
of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified
electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
Before Your First Use
•
Clean your stainless steel buffet server pans and lids in warm soapy
water and dry thoroughly.
•
Before your electric burner is used for the first time, plug the unit
in and set both temperature controls to MAX and run the unit for
10 minutes without the pans on the burners. You will notice that it
may smoke for a few minutes while it burns off the protective oils
used in shipping.
•
DO NOT leave your electric burner on after this initial trial run without
any pots as you can damage the unit.
•
DO NOT use this item as a portable heater.
•
Keep the power cord away from contact with the electric burners.
•
Both the burners and the housing are HOT. Only handle the unit after it
has completely cooled.
•
The housing surface is a mirror polish stainless steel finish; do not
place utensils or pots directly on the housing.
