This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other); follow the instructions below: To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

of the cooker as it is extremely hot and may cause
scalding.
