IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts
inside. Power Unit never needs lubrication. Do not attempt to service this
product. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards
resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord.
1. Read all instructions before using.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use HANDLES or KNOBS.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse TEMPERATURE
CONTROL PROBE or CORD in water or other liquid.
Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
Use only Rival® model TK-1 TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE.
4. This appliance is not for use by children.
5. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near
children. This appliance should not be used by children.
6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow
to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning
the appliance.
AN EXTENSION CORD MAY BE USED WITH CARE; HOWEVER, THE
MARKED ELECTRICAL RATING SHOULD BE AT LEAST AS GREAT AS THE
ELECTRICAL RATING OF THE GRIDDLE. The extension cord should not
be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over.
ELECTRIC POWER: If electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances,
Griddle may not operate properly. Griddle must be operated on a separate
circuit from other operating appliances.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged CORD or PLUG
or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any
manner. Return appliance to Rival® (see warranty) for examination,
repair, or adjustment.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug
is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely
into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Rival® may
cause injuries.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let CORD hang over edge of table or counter, or touch heated
surfaces.
11. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated
oven.
12. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing
hot oil or other hot liquids.
