1. Turn Temperature Control Knob(s) OFF.
2. Always unplug unit from electrical outlet and allow to cool before cleaning.
3. NEVER IMMERSE UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS.
4. For easy cleaning, the Burners are sealed. Do not attempt to separate Burners
from the unit.
5. Use a damp, soapy cloth or sponge to clean the surface of the Sealed Burners,
Burner Rings, Legs, and Housing Unit. NEVER USE HARSH ABRASIVE OR STEEL
WOOL PADS ON ANY PART OF THE BURNER.
6. Thoroughly wipe soap from Sealed Burners and Burner Rings. Then dry.
7. There are no user serviceable parts. Any servicing other than cleaning should
be performed by an authorized service center.
NOTE: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is required,
extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If
an extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the Electric Buffet Range
(120V, 1550W) and (2) the 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. If the plug does not fit securely into the AC outlet or if the AC
plug or outlet feels warm, do not use that AC outlet.
Reasonable care will ensure many years of service from your unit. Avoid dropping
items on the Burner rings and sealed burners.

• Before the Electric Buffet Range is used for the first time, it should be heated up
at maximum setting for approximately 4 minutes without a pot. During this
curing process, the protective coating is hardened and obtains its maximum
strength.
• The Electric Buffet Range may smoke the first time it is used – it is not defective
and the smoke will burn off within a few minutes.
• Do not leave the unit ON without any pots/pans on the Sealed Burners, after
the curing process.
• Do not use as a portable heater.
• Make sure the power supply cord does not touch hot elements or cooking
utensils.
• For daily cooking, wipe excess water/condensation off pots, lids, and utensils
prior to use.
• Make sure that hot pots/pans do not touch the Housing Unit – these could
damage the surface finish.
• The larger burner is rated at 900 watts. The smaller burner is rated at 650
watts. Use the larger burner for fast cooking, and use the smaller burner for
simmering or warming.
Before plugging in your Electric Buffet Range, check to ensure that the electrical
circuit is not overloaded with other appliances. This unit should always be
operated on a separate 120 volt, AC circuit.
1. Place unit on a flat, smooth surface. Be sure to place it in a safe area where it
will not fall or be pulled down by the cord.
NOTE: Provide at least 4 to 6 inches of space above and around the unit for
proper ventilation.
2. Plug unit into electrical outlet and turn the Temperature Control Knob(s) from
OFF to the desired setting.
3. When using a pot or pan, you should place it in the center of the burner. It is
recommended that you use a pot or pan that is the same size as the burner.
4. When not in use, unplug to assure the unit is OFF. This helps to prevent
accidental burns.
