OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for household use only.
This appliance is only intended for the preparation, cooking, and
serving of foods. This appliance is not intended for use with any
nonfood materials or products.
wWARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided
with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric
shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any
way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician
replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord
may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be
equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. 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.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-
wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.
wWARNING Burn Hazard: To avoid burns and reduce the risk
of personal injury, use extreme caution when carrying the hot pot
containing hot liquids. Do not pour in the direction of people or over
people.

with liquid or food, or is allowed to boil dry, the hot pot will
cycle continuously, turning off, cooling down, and turning back
on. You should:
1. Unplug the hot pot and wait about 15 minutes for the heater
to cool down.
2. Refill the hot pot; then use as normal and check that the hot
pot functions correctly.
