When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
• Before using your appliance on any countertop
surface or other fragile surface, such as a glass
tabletop, CHECK WITH YOUR COUNTERTOP
MANUFACTURER OR INSTALLER for
recommendations about using appliances
on your surfaces. Some manufacturers and
installers may recommend protecting your
surface by placing a hot pad or trivet under the
appliance for heat protection. Your manufacturer
or installer may recommend that hot pans,
pots, or electrical appliances should not be
used directly on top of the countertop. If you
are unsure, place a trivet or hot pad under the
appliance before using it.

damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
Return the appliance to an authorized service
facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
• This appliance should be serviced ONLY by
qualified service technicians. Contact Customer
Service using the information located on the

immersed in water, unplug from wall outlet
immediately. Do not reach into liquid if the
appliance is plugged in and immersed.
• To protect against electrical shock, DO NOT
immerse the cord or plugs, or expose the
electrical components to water or other liquid.
• DO NOT plug in the power cord or operate the
appliance controls with wet hands.
