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 longer 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 GRIDDLE.
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.
ELECTRIC POWER: If electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, the
griddle may not operate properly. The Griddle must be operated on a separate
circuit from other operating appliances.

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.
