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

WARNING

cover fitted on the power plug of
this appliance.

2 This appliance can be used by

persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge
if they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of
the appliance in a safe way and
understand the hazards involved.

3 Keep the appliance and its cord out

7 When using this appliance, provide

at least 6 inches (15.25 cm) of
space above and on all sides for
air circulation.

8 DO NOT use an extension cord. A

short power-supply cord is used to
reduce the risk of children grabbing
the cord or becoming entangled and
to reduce the risk of people tripping
over a longer cord.

unit housing in water or other liquid.

10 DO NOT use the appliance if there is

damage to the power cord or plug.

16 ALWAYS ensure hood is fully closed

before operating.

18 DO NOT cover the air intake vent or

air outlet vent while unit is operating.
Doing so will prevent even cooking
