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.
