IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

2. To protect against electrical shock, fire and injury to
persons, do not immerse the multi-grater, charging base,
cord or plug in water or any other liquid.

3. Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flam­mable fumes.

4. Unplug charger base from outlet before cleaning.

5. Charger base should be plugged into an electrical
outlet away from sink or hot surfaces.

6. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord

or electrical adjustment.

8. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended

10. This product contains nickel-metal hydride batteries, which
must be recycled at the end of the batteries’life. (Please

or compost batteries, as they will combust at high temper­atures.

11. Do not incinerate the multi-grater, even if it is severely
damaged. The batteries can explode in a fire.

12. Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme condi­tions. If the liquid, which is a 20–35% solution of potassium
hydroxide, gets on the skin, (1) wash quickly with soap and
water or (2) neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice
or vinegar. If the liquid gets into eyes, flush them immedi­ately with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and
seek medical attention.

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

14. Do not remove or add parts while operating the unit.

Plug charger directly into an electric outlet. Use only with
the charger provided with the appliance. Do not attempt to
use this charger with any other product. Likewise, do not
attempt to charge this appliance with any other charger.
