IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
The Elite Brand takes consumer safety very seriously. Products are designed and manufactured with our valued consumers’ safety in mind. Additionally, we ask that you exercise a level of caution when using any electrical appliance by following all instructions and important safeguards. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE WARNING: When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed as below:
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or appliance itself in water or any other liquid.
- It is not recommended that children operate this appliance.
- Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
- 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 nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
- Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to OFF position, then remove plug from wall outlet.
- Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in the appliance as they may cause a fire or risk of electrical shock.
- A fire may occur if the appliance is covered or touching flammable material including curtains, draperies, walls and the like when in operation.
- Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, involving a risk of electrical shock.
- Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of other material other than metal or glass.
- Do not place any of the following materials on the unit: paper, cardboard, plastic and the like.
- CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER.
SHORT CORD PURPOSE
Note: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Longer power-supply cords or 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 product; (2) the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.
POLARIZED PLUG
If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), please follow the below instructions: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

BEFORE FIRST USE
- Unpack contents. Remove any packaging material such as plastic, cardboard, or Styrofoam.
- Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the base and heating elements. CAUTION: NEVER immerse the base in water or any other liquid.
- The initial use of the appliance may produce a slight smell and smoke. This is normal and harmless and it comes from the burning of the protective substance applied to the heating elements during manufacturing. The smoke and odor should go away with subsequent use of the appliance. It is also recommended to run the unit for 15 minutes on the 1 setting to eliminate the odor and smoke before using it for the first time.
HOW TO USE
- Before plugging in your new burner, check to see that the electric circuit is not overloaded with other appliances. This unit should always be operated on a separate 120Volt AC outlet.
- Be certain that your unit is set on a leveled, flat, heat resistant surface. Also, avoid using pans that are unstable and easily tipped.
- Place pan on heating element.
- Turn the temperature control knob to the desired heat setting. The power indicator light of the switch will glow indicating that the heating element is turned on and heating will begin immediately.
- When cooking is complete, turn the temperature control knob back to the “OFF” position.
- If the burner is not to be in use for a long period of time, it is highly recommended to unplug the unit from the outlet. This prevents any accidental burns or injury.
- When all parts have thoroughly cooled, be sure to clean the burner. Dry all parts thoroughly before storing or operating the burner.
CAUTION:
NEVER touch the heating elements while the burner is in operation. Doing so will lead to serious personal injury.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
- Wipe off the base and heating element with a damp soapy cloth.
- Thoroughly clean and dry all parts.
- DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE SOAPS, DETERGENTS, OR CLEANING MATERIALS TO CLEAN THE BURNER.
