IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using your 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. Use pot holders

when removing hot containers.

3. To protect against a risk of electrical shock do not immerse cord,

plug or base 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. Unplug before putting on or

taking off parts and allow to cool before cleaning.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after

the appliance malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any
manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information
on examination, repair or adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the

appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

8. Do not use outdoors.

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

surfaces.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one

wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adapter. If the
plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an
electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce
the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a
longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used. The
electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than
the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension
cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can
be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
