CAUTION

Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor or major personal injury if the caution is ignored.

NOTICE : Notice is used to note information that is important but not hazard-related.

To reduce the risk of injury or damage to the equipment:

• Plug only into grounded electrical outlets that match the voltage on the rating label. This equipment requires a dedicated circuit.
• Do not use extension cords, power strips, or surge protectors with this equipment.
• Unplug this equipment from the wall outlet when not in use.
• Use this equipment only in a flat, level position.
• To protect against electrical shock do not immerse the cord or plug in water. Keep the cord away from the heated surface. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
• As a precaution, persons using a pacemaker should stand back 12″ (30 cm) from an operating unit. Studies have shown that the induction element will not disrupt a pacemaker.
