POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way
.
ELECTRICAL CORD
The cord of this appliance was selected to reduce the possibility of tangling in
or tripping over a longer cord. If more length is needed, use an extension cord rated
no less than 15-amperes. (For 220 volts rated products, use an extension cord rated
no less than 6-amperes cord). When using an extension cord, do not let it drape
over the working area or dangle where someone could accidentally trip over it.
Handle cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it at outlet and
appliance connections.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal
of the bottom cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt
to remove the bottom cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repair
should be done only by authorized service personnel.
SOFT-TOUCH PARTS
Note: The soft touch parts of the appliance are free of natural rubber and latex.
They are safe for individuals allergic or sensitive to these materials.

Preparing Foods for Marinating
Marinating is a great way to tenderize a less expensive cut of meat, and give
added flavor to meats, poultry, fish and vegetables.
The Black & Decker®Professional-Performance Vacuum System offers ways to
have tender, flavorful meats, poultry and fish and flavor-infused vegetables and
salads—and now it can be done in minutes, not hours.
To marinate, cut meat, poultry, fish or vegetables in cubes, or salads use the
appropriate size canister for the amount of food and vacuum seal following the
instructions above to marinate. Place in refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes.
Always place marinating food, in the refrigerator until ready to cook or eat.
ENCHUFE POLARIZADO
Este artefacto posee un enchufe polarizado (un contacto es más ancho que el otro). Para
reducir los riesgos de choque eléctrico, este enchufe entra en un contacto polarizado
de una sola manera. Si el enchufe no entra en su contacto, inviértalo. Si aun así no
entra, busque la ayuda de un electricista calificado. No intente hacerle ninguna
modificación al enchufe.
EL CABLE DE ALIMENTACION/ELÉCTRICO
El cable de este aparato fue escogido a fin de evitar el riesgo de enredarse o de
tropezar con un cable de mayor longitud. Cualquier cable de extensión que se
deba emplear, deberá estar calificado para nada menor de 15 amperios. (Para
aquellos productos de 220 voltios, se deberá utilizar un cable de extensión no
menor de 6 amperios). Cuando utilice un cable de extensión, asegúrese que no
interfiera con la superficie de trabajo ni que cuelgue de manera que alguien se
pueda tropezar. A fin de aumentar la vida útil del cable, no tire de él ni maltrate
las uniones del cable con el enchufe ni con el aparato.
Cuando se utilizan aparatos eléctricos, siempre se debe respetar ciertas
medidas de seguridad incluyendo las siguientes:
❑
Por favor lea todas las instrucciones antes de utilizar el producto.
❑
No toque las superficies calientes. Utilice las asas o las perillas.
❑
A fin de protegerse contra el riesgo de un choque eléctrico, no sumerja
el cable, el enchufe ni ninguna parte de este producto en agua u otro
líquido ni utilice el aparato sobre ninguna superficie mojada.
❑
No coloque ni almacene el aparato donde pueda ser halado o caer
fácilmente adentro de un lavamanos o una bañera.
❑
Todo aparato eléctrico utilizado en la presencia de menores de edad
o por ellos mismos requiere la supervisión de un adulto.
❑
Para disminuir el riesgo de choques eléctricos, no utilice ningún aparato
que tenga el cable o el enchufe estropeado, que presente problema
de funcionamiento o que esté dañado. Devuelva el producto a un centro
de servicio autorizado para que lo revisen, reparen o ajusten
debidamente.
❑
Este aparato no se puede utilizar a la intemperie.
❑
No permita que el cable cuelgue del borde de la mesa ni del mostrador
ni que entre en contacto con las superficies calientes. No enrolle el cable
en torno al aparato.
