When using electrical products, especially when
children are present, basic safety precautions should
always be followed including the following:
DANGER—TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
ELECTROCUTION:
• Do not wash the Liftware leveling handle in dishwasher.
• Do not use while bathing.
• Do not place or store product where it can fall or be
pulled into a tub or a sink.
• Do not place in or drop into water or other liquid.
• Do not reach for a product that has fallen into water.
Unplug immediately.
WARNING—TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS,
ELECTROCUTION, FIRE OR INJURY TO PERSONS:
• Close supervision is necessary when the product
is used by, on, or near children or people who are
cognitively impaired.
• Use this product only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use attachments
not recommended by the manufacturer.
• Never operate this product if it has a damaged cord or
plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped
or damaged, or dropped into water. Return the
product to a service center for examination and repair.
• Do not put any parts of the Liftware Level Starter Kit

• The Liftware leveling handle includes small parts
and parts with magnets that can be easily removed
and, once removed, may pose a choking or ingestion
hazard. Children should be supervised when using
Liftware Level.
Liftware Level is not to be used by children or persons
with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction. Children should
be supervised to not play with Liftware Level.
The Liftware leveling handle and attachments contain
small magnets similar in strength to ordinary household
magnets. If you have a cardiac pacemaker or other
implantable medical electronic device, follow your
device’s directions for use regarding magnets. The
standard recommendation is to keep your implantable
device at least 6 inches from Liftware because it
contains small magnets. If you have concerns about your
implantable device, consult your healthcare provider.

the handle connects to the attachment. It will bend
and rotate by itself, so avoid manually bending it.

keep the soup spoon or
other attachment level.
If it detects that you’re
trying to scoop food into
the spoon, Level will angle
the utensil downward for
ease of use.
Connect the attachment
to the handle using the
gray dots for correct
alignment. It will snap in
place using magnets.
The handle will turn on
automatically.
Clean the leveling handle and utensil attachments
according to the instructions on page 9 of this handbook.
