irreparable damage to the equipment and/or personal injury or death.
The Exclamation Symbol appears in Warning and Caution statements. This symbol designates where personal injury or
damage to the equipment is possible.
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, connect the instrument to properly earth-grounded, GFCI protected, 3-prong
receptacles only. Failure to observe this precaution can result in severe injury.
ŸALWAYS allow the appliance to cool down before draining water or moving unit.
ŸDO NOT use the lid handle to lift or transport appliance.
ŸNEVER leave appliance operating unattended for long periods of time. Water can evaporate and cause appliance to over-
heat which may result in damage to the heating element. Turn "OFF" when not in use.
ŸCONNECT the appliance into a properly polarized G.F.C.I. (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) electrical receptacle for
protection against electrical shock. Have a qualified electrician verify the wall socket is properly polarized and grounded.
Use only the power cordset provided with the unit. The Water Bath appliance must be properly grounded.
ŸDO NOT use in the presence of flammable liquids or gases, as these may present a fire and/or explosion hazard.
ŸFOLLOW splint material manufacturer instructions for proper material heat-up temperature and duration.
ŸDO NOT operate the appliance without properly filling with water. Under no circumstance should the appliance be
operated without water, as operating the appliance without water may result in damage to the heating element. Appliance
must be unplugged while filling or emptying water.
ŸAVOID skin contact with HOT water at all times! Carefully place splinting material into the Water Bath appliance to avoid
splashing onto skin or coming into contact with HOT water. DO NOT reach into HOT water with bare hands to remove
heated splint material. Use a grasping device, such as tongs, to remove splint material from HOT water.
