IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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. 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. 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 unintentionally.
ELECTRIC POWER: If electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, the
griddle may not operate properly. The Griddle must be operated on a separate
circuit from other operating appliances.
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 GRIDDLE or CORD
in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near
children. This appliance should not be used by children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow
to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning
and folding the appliance.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
e 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.
6. 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.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Rival® may
cause injuries.
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. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let CORD hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
