IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using.
2. Make sure the voltage in your outlet is the same as the voltage indicated on the
appliance's rating label.

in water or any other liquid.

sensory or mental capabilities.

cleaning or storing this appliance. To disconnect, remove plug from outlet. Always
unplug after use. The appliance will remain on unless unplugged.
8. Never yank the cord to disconnect the cooking unit from the outlet. Instead, grasp the
plug and pull to disconnect.
9. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged CORD or PLUG or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest
authorized Oster service facility for examination, repair or adjustment. Do not
attempt to replace or splice a damaged cord.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS UNIT IS INTENDED FOR
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than
the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical
shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do
not attempt to defeat this safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely
into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
EXTENSION CORD USE
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its
use. If an extension cord is used, the electrical rating of the cord must be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance. 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.
