IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

- This product is designed for household use only -

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 electrical shock and personal injury, do not immerse this
appliance, including cord and plug, 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
completely before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. To avoid
hazards, return appliance to NESCO® Factory Service Department for
examination, repair or adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer
may result in re, electric shock or injury to persons.

8. Do not use outdoors.

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

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner or in a heated oven.

11. Do not use appliance for other than its intended use, as described in this
manual.

12. Do not use metal scouring pads on the exterior surface of the appliance.

13. Do not use cookware with inferior or unsuitable type materials.

14. Always place appliance on a at and sturdy surface.

15. When moving appliance, do not touch hot surfaces, or avoid spilling hot
liquids over it.

16. Do not place or use the appliance near a washbasin.

17. Do not clean the appliance under a running tap water.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Polarized Plug: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the

other). To reduce risk of electric shock, plug is intended to t into polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not try to modify the plug in any way.
Short Cord Instructions: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension
cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the
marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
