IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of
fire, electrical shock, and/or injury:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch HOT surfaces. Use handles
or knobs.
3. To protect against fire, electrical shock,
and personal injury, do not immerse cord,
plugs or appliance in water or other
liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when the
appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug unit from outlet when not in use
and before cleaning. Allow to cool before
attaching or removing parts, and before
cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug after the appliance
malfunctions or has been damaged in
any manner. Return appliance to an
authorized service facility for examination,
repair or adjustment.
7. To protect against risk of electrical shock,
do not force any foreign objects, such as
pins and wires, into any openings.
8. The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may result in fire, electric
shock or personal injury.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table
or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
11. Do not place the appliance on or near a hot
gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
12. Extreme caution must be used when
moving an appliance containing hot oil or
other liquids.
13. Do not clean the appliance with cleansers,
steel wool pads, or other abrasive material.
14. Always attach plug to appliance first, then
plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect,
turn the switch to its “Off” position then
remove the plug from wall outlet.
15. Do not use appliance for other than
intended use. This product is designed
for household use only.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Note:
A. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks of becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
B. Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
C. If extension cord is used:
(1) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.
(2) 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.
The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other is).
As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to override this safety feature.
WARNING: Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with
this product, will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause
cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Indicates actions that must
be performed (Do this).
120 V AC
• Plug the appliance into a single electrical
outlet only.
Use only an electrical outlet rated at 15 amperes
or more. If electrical outlets are shared with other
appliances, the circuit may become hot potentially
causing a fire.

without adult supervision.
Do not operate the appliance within the reach of an
infant. This may lead to electric shock, burns or
other injuries.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water and
do not pour water onto it.
This action may cause a short circuit or electric
shock.
Do not cause damage to the power supply cord by
bending, pulling, twisting, or placing the cord near
hot appliances. Also, do not place heavy objects
on the cord. These actions may result in damage
to the power supply cord, possibly leading to

rewinding the power supply cord.
If the plug is not held, the uncontrolled moving
cord may cause injury.
• Allow the appliance to cool off prior to
cleaning.
Performing maintenance while the appliance is still
hot, may lead to burn injuries.
• Unplug the power supply plug from the
outlet when the appliance is not being used.
Any existing electrical insulation problems may
cause electric shock or sparking, leading to burns
