• Read all instructions.
• Remove all bags and packaging from appliance before use.
• Never leave appliance unattended when in use.
• Make sure the appliance is cleaned thoroughly before using.
• Do not use appliance for other than its intended use. For household use only. Do not use outdoors.

• For maintenance other than cleaning, please contact StoreBound directly at 1-800-898-6970 from 9AM-9PM EST Monday-Friday or by email at support@bydash.com
• Do not place appliance on or near a hot gas burner, hot electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Do not touch any moving parts.
• Refrain from using attachments that are not recommended by the appliance manufacturer, as this may result in fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
• Do not place appliance on or near a hot gas burner, hot electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces, or hang over the edges of tables or counters.
• This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience of knowledge, if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
• This appliance is not a toy. Do not let children use this appliance. Close supervision is necessary when any kitchen appliance is used by or near children.
• Always be sure to unplug the appliance from the outlet prior to moving, cleaning, and storage, and when not in use.
• StoreBound shall not accept liability for damages caused by improper use of the appliance.
• Improper use of the appliance can result in property damage or even in personal injury.
• Ensure that there is enough space surrounding the appliance while in use, as the appliance becomes very hot.
• Do not overfill the Fondue Pot.
• Do not move the Fondue Pot when it contains hot oil or food.
• Always use pot holders when handling a hot Fondue Pot.
• Do not use the Magnetic Power Cord system to disconnect the Fondue Pot. Always disconnect plug from wall outlet first to disconnect the Fondue Pot. Only use the Magnetic Power Cord that comes with the product. The use of any other magnetic cord set may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not completely fit in 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.
• A short power supply cord is to be 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 appliance. The extension 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.
