least as great as the electrical rating of the Purifier.
9. DO NOT allow power cord or extension cord to hang over the edge of a
counter or contact hot surfaces. DO NOT use Purifier if cord is damaged or
defective.
10. To protect against fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons, DO NOT
immerse power cord or Purifier in water or li uid.
11. Close supervision is necessary when this or any appliance is used by or near
children. Hot boiling water will scald if spilled on skin.
