This appliance is intended for household

This appliance has a grounded plug (provided

with a grounding pin). To reduce the risk of

electric shock, this plug is intended to only fit

into a grounded outlet. If the plug on this

appliance does not fit in your outlet, do not

modify the plug and do not use an adaptor.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload do

not use another high wattage appliance on

the same circuit with the contact grill.

An extension cord should be connected to

the appliance first, before it is plugged into

Always use a hot mitt to protect hand when

opening the contact grill.

The length of the cord used on this appli-

ance was selected to reduce the hazards

of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a

longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an

approved grounded extension cord may be

used. The electrical rating of the extension

cord must be equal to or greater than the

rating of the unit. Care must be taken to

arrange the extension cord so that it will not

drape over the countertop or tabletop

where it can be pulled on by children or

accidentally tripped over.
