Your safety and the safety of others
is very important.
We have provided many important safety messages
in this manual and on your appliance. Always read
and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol
alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you
and others. All safety messages will be
preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word
"DANGER" or "WARNING". These words mean:
DANGER
You will be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.
WARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you
how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what
can happen if the instructions are not followed.
