AROMA AWT-1503S Buffet Server and Warming Tray Instruction Manual

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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 metal surfaces. Use the handles or knobs.
Use only on a level, dry and heatresistant surface.
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.
Unplug from the wall outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the unit to completely cool before putting on or removing parts and before cleaning the appliance.
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.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged power cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Aroma® customer service for examination, repair or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Aroma® Housewares may result in fire, electrical shock or injury.
Prior to plugging the appliance into the wall outlet, ensure the temperature control dial is set to the OFF position.
To disconnect, turn the dial to the OFF position, and then remove the plug from wall outlet.
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 the appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
Keep at least 4 inches away from walls and other flammables in a wellventilated area.
Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.
Do not move the appliance when it contains hot food, oil, or other liquids.
Use only with a 120V AC power outlet.
Always unplug from the plug gripping area. Never pull on the cord.
The appliance should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other operating appliances. If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, the appliance may not operate properly.
Use extreme caution when lifting the lids during or after heating. Hot steam will escape and may cause scalding.
To prevent damage or deformation, do not use the provided serving containers on a stovetop or burner.
Do not wrap or tie the power cord around the appliance.
Intended for countertop use only.
Do not use plastic dishes or plastic wrap on the warming tray.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

Note:

Due to the buffet server’s manufacturing process, it is normal for smoke and/or odors to be emitted during the first use.
Ensure that all food is properly cooked before placing into the buffet server.
Foods containing little or no water should remain on low heat and be stirred occasionally.
The warming tray is ideal for keeping shallow pans warm right from the oven.
