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. An extension cord
may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used the
marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the BUFFET RANGE. The cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table top where
it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
Do not immerse unit in water or other liquids. No liability can be accepted
for any damage caused by non-compliance with these instructions or any
other improper use or mishandling.
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.
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 BUFFET RANGE, check to ensure that the
electrical circuit is not overloaded with other appliances. This unit should
always be operated on a separate 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC circuit. Be certain
that your BUFFET RANGE is resting level on the countertop. There are 2
burner rings on this unit. 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.
NOTE: Avoid using pans that are unstable and easily tipped.
1. Place unit on a flat surface.
NOTE: Be sure to leave 4 to 6 inches of space above and around the
unit for proper ventilation.
2. Plug unit into electrical outlet. Turn Temperature Control Dials from
OFF to selected setting.
CAUTION: Do not touch while in use.

3. When using a pot or pan, 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 cooking is complete turn Temperature Control Dial(s) to the
OFF position.
5. When not in use, unplug unit to assure that it is off. This helps prevent
accidental burns.
IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER WHEN OPERATING
•
Before the 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 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 Solid
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.
