Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all
safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you
and others.
The safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER",
"WARNING" or "CAUTION". These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow
instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
You can be exposed to a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
The safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell
you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
