IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage when using electrical
appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE. 2. Do not touch hot surfaces! Always use
hot pads or pot holders until unit
cools. 3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse base, cord or
plug in
water or other liquid. 4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by or near
children. 5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to
cool
completely before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning or
storing the appliance. 6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or
plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
Return the appliance to the Cadco Factory Service Department (call 860738-2500
first) for examination, repair or adjustment. (Canadian customers contact
Tarrison Products, Ltd. in Ontario, Tel.
905-825-9665.) 7. The use of accessory
attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors. 9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter
or touch hot surfaces. 10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric
burner or in a heated oven. 11. A fire may occur if this appliance is covered
or touching flammable material including curtains, walls, etc., when in
operation. 12. It is recommended that this appliance not be moved when it
contains hot oil or other hot liquid. 13. Do not clean with metal scouring
pads. They can scratch and ruin the finish of your unit. Pieces can also break
off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a shock hazard. 14. Exercise
extreme caution when using containers constructed of ceramic or glass. 15. Do
not cover the range with metal foils; this may cause overheating of the unit.
16. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: A short power supply cord (or cord set) has been provided to reduce the
hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised
in their use. If a long cord set or extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the cord set or extension 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 counter top or table top where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
General Description:
Our portable ranges are the solution for high-demand use. The high-grade, long-
life heating plates are equipped with an infinitely variable control.
The light will come on ONLY during heat cycle. It will cycle on and off with
temperature.
Initial Use:
Heat the appliance without a pot for approximately 10 minutes at maximum setting
in order for the special coating to seal. Temporary smoking is normal during initial
use.
Cooking Utensils:
Use only pots and pans designed for electric ranges with the suitable diameter.
Uneven or too-small pot bottoms do not allow efficient heating and will result in
loss of energy.
l The KR-1 & KR-S2 cast iron heating elements are 7-1/8 diameter.
l The DKR-S2 cast iron heating elements are 7-3/8 diameter (large) and
6 diameter (small.)
Directions for Use:
The heating element is equipped with a patented thermostatic system which gives
an infinitely variable temperature selection. Your heating element always heats
up with maximum power until it reaches the temperature you selected. Thereafter,
the thermostat adjusts itself to maintain the temperature; this is indicated by the
pilot lamp going on and off. After a short period of time, you will find the temperature
that is right for your application, and re-setting the temperature is generally not
necessary.

For Your Safety: l In use, all surfaces will get hot. Please use caution when
handling the appliance,
to avoid the risk of getting burned. l Keep the cords of this and other
adjacent electric appliances away from the
range. l Overheated fat or oil can ignite. Foods prepared with fats or oils
are not to be
left on the range without supervision. l Never immerse the appliance in water
for cleaning purposes. Be sure that no
water or steam can infiltrate the underside. l Always place the appliance on a
heat-resistant surface. l For protection against fire, put the appliance at
least 4 inches (10 cm) away
from the wall. The space above the appliance must be kept free. Unhindered air
supply must be ensured. l Do not clean with a steam jet appliance. l Do not
use the appliance as a space heater. Improper use will result in loss of
warranty.
