GROUNDED PLUG
To reduce the risk of electric shock this appliance has a grounded plug.
(2 blades and 1 pin) If the plug does not fit fully into the electrical
outlet contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any
way or use an adaptor.
HOW TO USE YOUR SALTON PORTABLE COOKING RANGE
Any flat-bottomed pot or container that can be used on a conventional
electric stove element can also be used on the Salton Portable Cooking
Range. For maximum heat transfer, cookware that has a solid perfectly
flat bottom is recommended. Cookware made from solid aluminum or
some other material with an encapsulated aluminum base will provide
the best results. Any cookware can be used to reheat but if maximum
energy is required, such as boiling water, please use the recommended
cookware.
1. Place the Portable Cooking Range onto a smooth, dry, flat surface.
Be sure that the knobs are in the '0' position and plug into any
120 Volt A.C. outlet.
2. Place filled cookware on element. Each element is equipped with
it’s own Temperature Control Knob and Indicator Light.
3. Turn Control Knob (s) clockwise to desired setting. The green
Indicator Light (s) will glow and go ‘on’ and ‘off’ as the selected
temperature is automatically maintained.
IMPORTANT:
• DO NOT preheat before using.
• DO NOT switch on before cookware is placed on the element.
• The wattage of the small element is 500 watts and the large
element is 1000 watts.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled
in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is
exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating
of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the
grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounded 3-wire cord. The
extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter
top or table top, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
