IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

This product is designed for household use only
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
Always plug appliance cord into wall outlet, then adjust temperature control to the desired temperature. To disconnect, turn control to off, then remove plug from wall outlet.
To protect against electrical shock and personal injury, do not immerse this appliance, including cord and plug, in water or other liquid.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool completely before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. To avoid hazard, return appliance to NESCO® Factory Service Department for examination, repair or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause injuries.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, touch hot surfaces and never pull on cord.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner or in a heated oven.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or hot liquids.
Do not use appliance for other than its intended use, as described in this manual.
Always place the appliance on a non-flammable, non-burnable, heat resistant surface when cooking. DO NOT place it on carpet, furniture, or other combustible materials. Operate oven in a well-ventilated area away from walls.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Polarized Plug: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce risk of electric shock, plug is intended to fit into 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 try to modify the plug in any way.

Short Cord Instructions: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
