Sanyo_803126 4/11/08
When using electrical appliances, follow basic safety precautions to reduce the
risk of fire, electrical shock, and/or injury:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch HOT surfaces. Use handles
or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do
not immerse cord, plug or the appliance
itself in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when the
appliance is used near children.
5. Prior to plugging appliance into the wall
outlet, ensure temperature control is set
to OFF position. To disconnect completely,
set temperature control to OFF and
unplug the appliance.
6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning. Allow unit to cool
before putting on or taking off parts, and
before cleaning the appliance.
7. 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.
8. Using attachments or accessories other
than those supplied by the manufacturer
can create a HAZARD. DO NOT use
incompatible parts.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table
or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
11. Do not place on or near a hot burner or in
a heated oven.
Note:
A. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks of becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
B. Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
C. If extension cord is used:
(1) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance.
(2) The longer 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.
The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other is).
As a safety feature, 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 attempt to override this safety feature.
