IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:

❑Read all instructions.

❑Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

❑To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs or appliance in

water or other liquid.

❑Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near

children.

❑Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before

putting on or taking off parts.

❑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. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number on the cover of this
manual.

❑The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance

manufacturer may cause injuries.

❑Do not use outdoors.

❑Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

❑Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

❑Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or

other hot liquids.

❑To disconnect, turn any control to OFF (O), then remove plug from wall outlet.

❑Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.

❑Be sure removable plates are assembled and fastened properly.

❑The appliance is only to be operated in the closed position.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)

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.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal

of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove
the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only
by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to

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

b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be

used if care is exercised in their use.

c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,

2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and

3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel
or in Latin America by an authorized service center.
