SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts
inside. 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. WARNING: Do not use an extension cord.
POLARIZED PLUG
s 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before plugging in your Electric Buffet Range, check to ensure that the electri-
cal circuit is not overloaded with other appliances. This unit should always be
operated on a separate 120 volt, AC circuit.
1. Place unit on a flat, smooth surface. Be sure to place it in a safe area
where it will not fall or be pulled down by the cord.
NOTE: Provide at least 4 to 6 inches of space above and around the
unit for proper ventilation.
2. Plug unit into electrical outlet and turn the Temperature Control
Knob(s) from OFF to the desired setting.
3. When using a pot or pan, you should place it in the center of the
burner. It is recommended that you use a pot or pan that is the same
size as the burner.
4. When not in use, unplug to assure the unit is OFF. This helps to pre-
vent accidental burns.
Caution: The Sealed Burners are solid surfaces that retain heat
longer than the traditional coil burners. As such, they may need
additional time to cool after being turned off.

IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER WHEN OPERATING
• Before the Electric Buffet Range is used for the first time, it should be
heated up at maximum setting for approximately 4 minutes without
a pot. During this curing process, the protective coating is hardened
and obtains its maximum strength.
• The Electric Buffet Range may smoke the first time it is used – it is not
defective and the smoke will burn off within a few minutes.
• Do not leave the unit ON without any pots/pans on the Sealed
Burners, after the curing process.
• Do not use as a portable heater.
• Make sure the power supply cord does not touch hot elements or
cooking utensils.
• For daily cooking, wipe excess water/condensation off pots, lids, and
utensils prior to use.
• Make sure that hot pots/pans do not touch the Housing Unit – these
could damage the surface finish.
• The larger burner is rated at 900 watts. The smaller burner is rated at
650 watts. Use the larger burner for fast cooking, and use the smaller
burner for simmering or warming.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Reasonable care will ensure many years of service from your unit. Avoid drop-
ping items on the Burner rings and sealed burners.
1. Turn Temperature Control Knob(s) OFF.
2. Always unplug unit from electrical outlet and allow to cool before
cleaning.
3. NEVER IMMERSE UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS.
4. For easy cleaning, the Burners are sealed. Do not attempt to separate
Burners from the unit.
5. Use a damp, soapy cloth or sponge to clean the surface of the Sealed
Burners, Burner Rings, Legs, and Housing Unit. NEVER USE HARSH
ABRASIVE OR STEEL WOOL PADS ON ANY PART OF THE BURNER.
6. Thoroughly wipe soap from Sealed Burners and Burner Rings. Then
dry.
7. There are no user serviceable parts. Any servicing other than cleaning
should be performed by an authorized service center.
NOTE: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is
required, extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use. If an extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the Electric
Buffet Range (120V, 1550W) and (2) the longer cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over unintentionally. If the plug does not fit securely
into the AC outlet or if the AC plug or outlet feels warm, do not use that AC
outlet.
