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 or hot liquids. Use handles or knobs. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts or from spilled hot liquid.

3.To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons do not immerse cord, plugs, or hot pot in water or other liquid.

4.Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

5.Hot pot must be operated on a flat surface away from the edge of counter to prevent accidental tipping.

6.Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.

7.Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been dropped or dam- aged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment.

8.The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or injury to persons.

9.Do not use outdoors.

10.Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.

11.To protect against electric shock, unplug from outlet when filling, when not in use, and before cleaning.

12.To prevent burns, allow to cool before cleaning.

13.Do not allow hot pot to boil dry.

14.To avoid possible steam damage, turn spout away from walls or cabinets during use; use protective pad under hot pot to prevent damage to wood finishes.

15.To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.

16.Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

17.To disconnect, remove plug from wall outlet. Never pull on cord as this may damage the cord and eventually cause electric shock.

18.Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the heating cycle.

19.Be sure the lid is securely snapped in place before turning hot pot on and during use. Allow to cool before removing lid.

To remove lid lift straight up.

20.WARNING: To reduce risk of fire, do not heat flammable liquids or solids, like wax, lard, oil, gas, alcohol or the like.

21.Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit with the hot pot.

This appliance is equipped with a grounded-type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This plug will only fit into an electrical outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If the plug should fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the grounding pin, part of the 3-prong plug.

This appliance has a short cord to reduce hazards of becoming entangled or tripping over a longer cord. A grounded-type 3 wire extension cord may be used if the electrical rating of the extension cord is equal to or greater than the rating of the hot pot. Use only an extension cord rated 15 amperes or greater. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
