IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

Read all instructions.
Do not touch hot surfaces; use the provided handles.
To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs or temperature control probe in water or any other liquid.
To avoid possible accidental injury, close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Unplug from wall outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance has malfunctioned or has been dropped or damaged in any way or is not operating properly. Return appliance to authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
The use of attachments not recommended by our company may cause fire, electrical shock or risk of injury.
Do not use outdoors.
To avoid the possibility of the skillet being accidentally pulled off a work area, which could result in damage to the skillet or in personal injury, do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
Always attach temperature probe to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn temperature control to "OFF", then remove plug from wall outlet.
To avoid damage to cord and possible fire or electrocution hazard, do not let cord contact hot surfaces, including a stove.
When oil is heated to high temperature in any vessel, flammable gases are given off. Do not expose a flame to these gases as this could be dangerous. Never cover skillet when heating oil.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
If 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.
A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding 3-wire cord.
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

Electric shock hazard. Use with adequate electrical system. Do not use if cord or plug is damaged.

All items in the Skillet can get very hot during cooking. Please be careful when removing these items from the unit. Always wear oven mitts or use pot holders. Skillet may retain residual heat after food has been removed. Allow everything to cool completely before cleaning.
