IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions
and warnings.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including:
Read all instructions.
•
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
•
To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons do not immerse
•
cord, plugs, or other electric parts in water or other liquids.
Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children.
•
Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
•
before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance
•
malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. For service information see
warranty page.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Focus Electrics may
•
cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
Do not use this appliance outdoors.
•
Do not let cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
•
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
•
Attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn
•
any control to "OFF," then remove plug from wall outlet.
Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
•
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or
•
other hot liquids.
Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.
•
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming
•
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available, but care must be exercised in their use.
•
While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one,
ensure that the marked electrical rating of the extension cord is equal to or
greater than that of the appliance. If the plug is of the grounded type, the
extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. To avoid pulling, tripping
or entanglement, position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the
edge of the counter, table or other area where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
•
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug
in any way.
Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or
•
extension cord feels hot.
Avoid contact with moving parts.
•
Never leave appliance unattended when it is plugged into an outlet.
•
Do not leave appliance plugged in when it is not being used.
