SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with
care. However, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the fondue. 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 unintentionally.
Use only model MDTCP-1 Temperature Control Probe.
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.
