the appliance’s rating label.

cooking unit in water or any other liquid.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use potholders when removing cover or handling

hot containers to avoid steam burns.

• Extreme caution must be exercised when any appliance is used near children.

• Unplug from wall outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool

grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.

• Do not operate any appliance if the cord is damaged. Do not use this appliance

if the unit malfunctions, if it is dropped or has been damaged in any manner.

In order to avoid the risk of an electric shock, never try to repair the Food

Steamer yourself. Take it to an authorized service station for examination and

repair. An incorrect reassembly could present a risk of electric shock when the

Food Steamer is used.

may cause fire, electrical shock or injury.

• Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes.

• Do not use this appliance for purposes other than the one for which it

was designed.

• Do not let the electrical cord hang over the edge of the table or countertop,

or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not operate appliance while empty or without water in the reservoir.

THIS UNIT IS FOR

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

This appliance has a polarized alternating current plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, as a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not insert fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still fails to fit, contact a qualified electrician.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE.

EXTENSION CORD USE

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the electrical rating of the cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension 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.
