To protect against a fire, electric shock or personal injury, do not immerse cord,
electric plugs, appliance in water or other liquids.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Do not touch the hot surface. Use the handle or the button.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot water.
The use of attachments not recommended or sold by manufacturer may cause fire,
electric shock or injury.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance

Note for 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.
Note for Power supply cord:
a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is provided to reduce
risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be
used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
1) 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;
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding
type 3-wire cord; and
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or
table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
