SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Other consumer safety information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized
plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock.
The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug
in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician
replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved exten-
sion cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension
cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appli-
ance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so
that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

Pendant l'utilisation d'appareils électriques, des mesures
de sécurité élémentaires doivent toujours être respectées,
incluant les suivantes :
1. Lire toutes les instructions.
2. Pour prévenir tout risque d'électrocution, ne pas
immerger l'appareil ouvre-boîte, le cordon ou la fiche
dans l'eau ou dans tout autre liquide. Ne pas faire
fonctionner le couteau dans l'eau ou sous l'eau
courante.
3. Une supervision vigilante est nécessaire pendant
l'utilisation de tout appareil par ou près des enfants.
4. Débrancher le cordon de la prise dès la fin de l'utili-
sation, avant d'installer ou de retirer des pièces et
avant le nettoyage. Débrancher lors du changement
de lames.
5. Éviter de toucher des pièces mobiles.
6. N'utiliser aucun appareil dont le cordon ou la prise
est endommagé, ou à la suite de toute anomalie de
fonctionnement de l'appareil, d'une chute ou de tout
autre dommage. Appeler le numéro sans frais du
Service à la clientèle pour plus d'information à propos
d'une vérification, d'une réparation ou d'un réglage
électrique ou mécanique.
7. L'utilisation d'accessoires que le fabriquant ne vend
pas ou ne recommande pas peut occasionner un
incendie, l'électrocution ou des blessures.
8. Ne pas utiliser à l'extérieur.

INSTRUCTIONS
Autre consigne de sécurité
pour le consommateur
Cet appareil est conçu pour une utilisation domestique
seulement.
AVERTISSEMENT ! Risque d'électrocution : Cet appareil est
doté d'une fiche polarisée (lame large) qui réduit le risque
d'électrocution. Cette fiche s'insère d'une seule manière
dans une prise polarisée. Ne pas transformer le dispositif
de sécurité de la fiche en modifiant celle-ci de quelconque
façon ou en utilisant un adaptateur. Si la fiche refuse de
s'insérer, inversez-la. Si elle refuse toujours de s'insérer,
faites remplacer la prise par un électricien.
La longueur du cordon installé sur cet appareil a été sélec-
tionnée afin de réduire les risques d'enchevêtrement ou de
faux pas causés par un fil trop long. L'utilisation d'une ral-
longe approuvée est permise, si le cordon est trop court.
Les caractéristiques électriques de la rallonge doivent être
équivalentes ou supérieures aux caractéristiques de l'ap-
pareil. Prendre toutes les précautions nécessaires pour
installer la rallonge de manière à ne pas la faire courir sur
le comptoir ou sur une table pour éviter qu'un enfant ne
tire sur le cordon ou trébuche accidentellement.
