 IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED WHEN
USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
1. Read all instructions thoroughly and keep these instructions for future use.
2. Avoid touching hot surfaces. The handles and knobs are provided for your safety and protection.
3. To prevent hazardous operation or electric shock, do not immerse the temperature control plug,
power cord, power plug or heater set in water or other liquids.
4. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the appliance to cool before adding
or removing parts and before cleaning.
6. Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use.
7. Do not use or operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug. If the appliance malfunctions or
has been damaged in any manner, unplug the appliance and return it to the nearest authorized
service facility or dealer for examination, repair or adjustment.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may be
hazardous or may cause injuries.
10. Keep the power cord away from hot surfaces and do not let the cord hang over the edge of tables
or counters.
11. Do not place the appliance on or near a heated surface such as a gas or electric stove, or in a
heated oven.
12. Always use the appliance on a dry, level surface.
13. Always use extreme caution when moving appliances containing hot oil or liquids.
14. The plug to the appliance should be attached first before plugging the cord into a wall outlet. To
disconnect, turn the power control to OFF. Then remove the plug from wall outlet.
15. To use, plug power cord into an electrical outlet. To disconnect, grasp the power plug and remove
from outlet.
16. Do not use the appliance for other than intended or specified purposes.
17. Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.
18. This appliance is intended for household/domestic use only and not for commercial or industrial
use.
19. To reduce the risk of fire, cook only with plate and guard properly in place.
20. Make sure the detachable plate, heater unit and guard are assembled and fastened properly
according to the "HOW TO USE" section of this instruction before cooking. Only use temperature
control plug for Model No. EA-DCC10.
21. This appliance is not intended for deep frying foods.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
This appliance is supplied with a short power cord to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or
tripping over. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is
used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance, and a longer 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.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one bade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug was designed to fit into a polarized outlet in only one direction. If the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, do not attempt to force it or modify it in any way. Simply reverse the plug and
insert. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
