Important Safeguards
—This product is designed for household use only—
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1.Read all instructions.
2.Do not touch hot surfaces.
3.To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse power unit or any part of the dehydrator cord or plug, in water or any other liquid.*
4.Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5.Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the unit to cool before putting on and taking off parts.
6.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 service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7.The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufac- turer may cause hazards.
8.Sharp utensils should not be used inside the dehydrator.
9.Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10.Do not use outdoors. Always dehydrate indoors on a flat surface to allow sufficient air flow. Never place base on carpet, towel, newspaper, etc., which can block air flow to the bottom of base and cause failure. Never cover entire unit with anything, as that will cause failure. The dehydrator needs an open, breathable space to function properly.
11.Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner, or in heated oven.
12.Do not use this appliance for other than its intended use.

NOTE: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit on 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.
Short Cord Instructions — a short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
