3 To protect against fire, electrical shock or personal injury, do not immerse

cord, plugs or appliance in water or other liquid.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

5. Unplug appliance from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow
appliance 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

1. A short power supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is provided to

reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord.

2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and

may be used if care is exercised in their use.

3. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

a. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension

cord must be as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,

b. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a

grounding type 3-wire cord, and

c. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter

top or table top where it can be puled on by children or tripped over.

4. 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 attempt to defeat this
safety feature.

2.
