IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do not immerse
cord, plugs, or body of machine in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or
adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To
disconnect, turn any control to “OFF”, then remove plug from wall outlet.
12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
13. Use extreme caution when disposing hot steam.
14. For household use only.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.
2 Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
3. If an extension cord is used,
a. the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance, and
b. the longer cord shall be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter
top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
