IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

-This product is designed for household use only-

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. Do not touch
the steamer base until it has cooled.
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse power
unit or any part of the steamer base, cord or plug, in water or
other liquid.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children.
Make sure timer is OFF and cord unplugged from outlet when
not in use and before cleaning. Allow the unit 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.
The use of accessory attachments, not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer, may cause injuries.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a
heated oven.
Do not use this appliance for other than its intended use.
Use extreme caution when moving an appliance containing
hot oil or other hot liquids.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: 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.

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.
