IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be fol-
lowed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, including the following:

• To protect against electrical shock, do not
immerse cord, plug, or base unit in water or
other liquid.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before
cleaning. Allow time to cool before putting on,
taking off, or cleaning parts.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged
cord or plug, or if the appliance malfunctions
or has been damaged in any manner. Contact
consumer support at the toll-free number listed
in the warranty section.
• The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by the appliance manufacturer
may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or

burner, or in a heated oven.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This product is for household use only.
POLARIZED PLUG
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.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent
removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt
to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should
be done only by authorized service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be
used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
a) The marked electrical rating of the power cord or extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
b) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding
3-wire cord.
c) 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 unintentionally.
Note: If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty department listed
in these instructions.
