IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

AHP-511 - Line

Basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliances, including the following:

Important: Read all instructions carefully before first use.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handles or knobs.
To protect against fire, electrical shock and injury to persons, do not immerse the power cord, plug or appliance in water or any other liquid. See instructions for cleaning.
Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children. This appliance is not intended for use by children.
Prior to plugging the appliance into the wall outlet, ensure the temperature control dial is set to OFF. To disconnect completely, turn the temperature control dial to OFF and unplug the appliance.
Unplug from the wall outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the unit to cool completely before cleaning the appliance.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Aroma® customer service for examination, repair or adjustment.
Using attachments or accessories other than those supplied by Aroma Housewares can create a hazard. Do not use incompatible parts.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not allow the power cord to touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a counter or table.
Do not place on or near gas, electric or in a heated oven.
Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces may break off the pad and damage electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock. Metal scouring pads may damage the steel finish.
When in use, keep the hot plate a minimum of 10-12 inches away from walls. Place on a stable, heat-resistant surface and in a well-ventilated area. Place the appliance on a dry and horizontal surface.
A fire may occur if the hot plate is covered or touching flammable material, such as curtains, draperies, walls and the like, while in operation.
Do not place any flammable materials in or on the hot plate, such as paper, cardboard, plastic, etc.
To ensure an optimum performance life for the hot plate, avoid dropping any food on the heating element.
Always unplug from the plug gripping area. Never pull on the cord.
If the electric circuit in use is overloaded with other appliances, this appliance may not operate properly. The appliance should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other operating appliances.
Clean the appliance regularly, as a build-up of grease poses a fire hazard.
Always allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning.
Do not attempt to move the appliance with cookware on top.
Do not plug in or operate the appliance with wet hands.
Intended for countertop use only.

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.
Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
a.) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
b.) 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.
DO NOT DRAPE CORD!
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN!

Polarized Plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other); follow the instructions below:

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 supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
