IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:
❑ Read all instructions.
❑ Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
❑ To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or base unit
in water or other liquid.
❑ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
❑ Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts.
❑ Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return

manufacturer may cause injuries.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the
risk of electric shock, 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 modify the plug in any way.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a) A short detachable power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and
2) The 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.
If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord.
