Basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical appli-
ances, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using.
2. Do not place the appliance in the
presence of explosive and/or
flammable fumes.
3. Note that the trays can only be
filled with food and/or liquid to
2/3 capacity.
4. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use
handles or knobs.
5. To protect against electrical
shock and malfunction, do not
immerse the body, cord or plug
in water or other liquids.
6. Close supervision is necessary
when any appliance is used by or
near children.
7. Turn the thermostat knob to
“OFF” to turn the power off.
8. Caution: the surface will remain
warm after the unit is turned off.
9. Do not operate this appliance
while empty, as it may cause the
metal to warp.
10. Always unplug the appliance and
allow to cool completely before
cleaning or removing parts.
11. Do not operate with a damaged
cord or after the appliance mal-
functions or has been damaged
in any way. Return the appliance
to the nearest authorized service
station for repair or adjustment.
12. The use of accessory attach-
ments not recommended by the
manufacturer may result in fire,
electric shock or injury.
13. Do not use outdoors.
14. Do not allow the cord to hang
over the edge of the counter or

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk resulting from becom-
ing entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
3. If a longer extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
b. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over
unintentionally.

This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from elec-
trical shock. The appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong
grounding-type plug to fit the proper grounding-type receptacle. The appliance
has a plug that looks like sketch A. An adapter, sketch B, should be used for
connecting sketch-A plug plugs to two-plugs to two-prong receptacles. The
grounding tab, which extends from the adapter, must be connected to a perma-
nent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box as shown in sketch C using
a metal screw.

1. Read all instructions and important safeguards.
2. Remove all packaging materials and make sure items are received in good con-
dition.
3. Tear up all plastic bags as they can pose a risk to children.
4. Wash the lids, trays and serving tray support with warm soapy water using a
sponge or soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
5. Wipe the warming base with a clean damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners
or scouring pads. Do not immerse the base in water.
6. Heat the warming base without food for about 10 minutes. This will seal the
coating on the warming tray.
NOTE: The appliance itself may give off smoke or odors when heating for the
first time. This is normal.
