A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk resulting
from it being grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or
tripping over a longer cord.

• The bottom of the removable vessel is very rough and can
damage the countertop. Use caution.

caution. Do not place directly on any unprotected surface or
countertop.
• Never place removable vessel or lid on a burner or stove top.
