1. Read all instructions.

2. Do not touch HOT surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

3. To protect against fire, electrical shock, and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plugs or appliance in water or other liquid.

4. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children.

5. Unplug unit from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before attaching or removing parts, and before cleaning the appliance.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to an authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

7. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not force any foreign objects, such as pins and wires, into any openings.

8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or personal injury.

9. Do not use outdoors.

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

11. Do not place the appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

12. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other liquids.

13. Do not clean the appliance with cleansers, steel wool pads, or other abrasive material.

14. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn the switch to its “Off” position then remove the plug from wall outlet.

15. Do not use appliance for other than intended use. This product is designed for household use only.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Note:

A. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks of becoming entangled in or

tripping over a longer cord. B. Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. C. If extension cord is used:

(1) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the

electrical rating of the appliance.

(2) 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. The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other is). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to override this safety feature.

WARNING: Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with this product, will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Do not insert any metallic objects, such as pins or wires into the appliance. This action may cause electric shock or appliance malfunction, resulting in injury.

CAUTIONS

• Grasp only the plug when unplugging the power supply cord.

Do not pull the power supply cord itself when unplugging the electrical plug. Doing so may cause electric shock or short circuit, potentially causing a fire.

• Hold the power supply plug when rewinding the power supply cord.

If the plug is not held, the uncontrolled moving cord may cause injury.

• Allow the appliance to cool off prior to cleaning.

Performing maintenance while the appliance is still hot, may lead to burn injuries.

• Unplug the power supply plug from the outlet when the appliance is not being used.

Any existing electrical insulation problems may cause electric shock or sparking, leading to burns or other injuries.

Allow the appliance to cool off before cleaning.

Do not place your face or hand near the steam vent.
