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 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 SKILLET.
The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or unintentionally tripped over.
POLARIZED PLUG
s appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this plug will 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.
CAUTION: Some countertops are more sensitive to heat, use care not to place
skillet or SKILLET PAN on surfaces where heat may cause damage.
ELECTRIC POWER: If electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, skillet
may not operate properly. Skillet must be operated on a separate circuit from
other operating appliances.
