IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

❑Read all instructions.

❑Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

❑To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or base unit in water or other liquid.

❑Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

❑Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.

❑Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to an authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

❑The use of accessory attachments not recommended by this 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.

❑Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot food, water or other hot liquids.

❑Always attach plug to the appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove plug from wall outlet.

❑Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will 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 modify the plug in any way.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a)A short detachable power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

b)Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

c)If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1)The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and

2)The 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 appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
