Mixer Safety

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electric appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
do not put cord, plug, or mixer body in
water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.

before putting on or taking off parts,
and before cleaning.

hands, hair, and clothing, as well as
spatulas and other utensils, away from

of injury to persons, and/or damage
to mixer.

7. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or is dropped or

Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household
use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature intended to help reduce the risk of
electrical shock. If you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.
