SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS & IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS WARNING: 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.

To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet. Never use the product if the power cord shows signs of excessive wear. Contact Chefman® Customer Support for additional guidance and support.
