(Original instructions)

uDo not expose appliance to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a appliance will increase the risk of electric shock.

uDo not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the appliance. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
