• Do not use outdoors.

• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter.

• Do not let the cord come into contact with hot surfaces, including a stove.

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

• Do not use this appliance for other than its intended use.

• Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas and other utensils away from

• Be sure to turn switch to “OFF” position after each use.

• To disconnect, grip plug and pull from wall outlet. Never pull on cord to

disconnect.

• Never leave the house while the appliance is on.

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions and warnings.

• Longer, detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, the marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. The cord should be arranged so that it will not hang over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over.

• 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.

• For household use only.
