a liance.
3. Do no touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
4. To rotect against electrical shocks do not immerse cord, lugs,
or the a liance in water or any liquid.
5. Close su ervision is necessary when any a liance is used near
children.
6. Un lug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to
cool before cleaning the a liance.
7. Do not o erate any a liance with a damaged cord or lug, or
after the a liance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any
manner. Return a liance to the nearest authorized service
facility for examination, re air or adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
a liance manufacturer may cause injuries.

POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS
Some a liances are equi ed with a olarized lug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this lug
will fit into the olarized outlet only one way. If the lug does not
ro erly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit,
contact a com etent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify
the plug in any way.
For a liances equi ed with a standard lug, sim ly insert the lug
into the outlet without aying attention to the way you lug it.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short ower su ly cord is rovided to reduce the hazards resulting
from becoming entangled in, or tri ing over a longer cord. The use
of an extension cord is not recommended.
However, if you make use of an extension cord, care is to be
exercised in their use:
• The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least
that of the a liance. If the electrical rating of the extension
cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.
• The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will
not dra e over the counter to or tableto where it can be
ulled on by children or tri ed over.

USE
• Put the a liance on a stable, dry and heat resistant surface,
near a ower outlet.
• The thermostat knobs must be on their minimum osition (MIN),
and the switch must be in off osition. Make sure the heating
elements are ro erly installed before utting any object on
them.
• Plug in the a liance.
• Before the first use, reheat the a liance for 10 minutes in order
to fix the rotective coating on the heating elements. To do so,
ress the on/off switch. Its ilot light will come on, indicating that
the a liance is switched on. Turn the thermostat knobs to their
maximum osition (MAX). After 10 minutes, turn the thermostat
knobs to MIN and switch off the a liance to let it cool down.
Your a liance is now ready for use.
• Always use flat-bottomed sauce ans es ecially conceived for
electric cooking lates. The sauce an bases should ideally be of
the same size as the cooking lates to avoid a waste of heat and
energy.
• Press the on/off switch. Its ilot light will come on, indicating that
the a liance is switched on.
• Turn the thermostat knobs to the right until you reach the desired
tem erature setting. The heating elements start heating. The
heating element with the most com act heating s iral will heat
more intensely. Caution: if one of the heating elements is not in
use, let its thermostat on the minimum osition (MIN) in order to
avoid burns.
• Due to the cooking lates’ construction, residual heat will remain
after switching off. This may be used to kee food warm for a
short eriod.

a liance from electrical outlet.
CLEANING AND CARE
• Before cleaning, un lug the a liance and wait for it to cool
down.
• Wi e the body with moistened cloth or a er towels.
• To clean under the heating elements, wait until the heating
elements have totally cooled down. It is ossible to lift u the
heating elements artly in order to clean the surface under the
heating elements with soft dam cloth. Caution, when you lift up
the heating elements, never force, as this could damage them.
• After cleaning, make sure to ut the heating elements back in
the correct osition before using the a liance again.
• Do not clean with any abrasive scouring ad or steel wool, as this
will damage the finish.

GUARDE ESTAS INSTRUCCIONES
INFORMACIÓN SOBRE EL ENCHUFE POLARIZADO
Algunos a aratos están rovistos con un enchufe olarizado (una
ata es más ancha que la otra). Para reducir el riesgo de choque
eléctrico, este enchufe calza en el tomacorriente olarizado de una
sola manera. Si el enchufe no cabe totalmente en el tomacorriente,
gire el enchufe. Si aún así no calza, consulte a un servicio técnico
cualificado. No intente anular esta característica de seguridad.
Para los a aratos rovistos con un enchufe clásico, basta con
insertar el enchufe en la toma de corriente.
INSTRUCCIONES DEL CABLE
El cable de alimentación del a arato es un cable corto a fin de
disminuir el riesgo de accidentes (caídas al tro ezar con él, etc.) Le
aconsejamos que no utilice alargadores.
Sin embargo, si utiliza un alargador:
• Asegúrese de que el nivel eléctrico del cable es igual o
mayor que el indicado. Una extensión con un bajo nivel
eléctrico correría el riesgo de sobrecalentarse y de
estro earse.
• Para evitar riesgos colocar de forma tal que los niños no
uedan jalarlo o tro ezar con él.. Que no arrastre nunca or
el suelo.
