followed, including the following:

❑ Read all instructions.

❑ Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

❑ To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs or appliance in

water or other liquid.

❑ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near

children.

❑ Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before

putting on or taking off parts.

❑ Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the

appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Call the

appropriate toll-free number on the cover of this manual.

❑ The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance

manufacturer may cause injuries.

❑ Do not use outdoors.

❑ Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

❑ Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

❑ Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or

other hot liquids.

❑ To disconnect, power OFF, then remove plug from wall outlet.

❑ Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG (USA/Mexico)

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.

GROUNDED PLUG (Canada models only)

As a safety feature, this product is equipped with a grounded plug, which will

only fit into a three-prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Improper connection of the grounding conductor may result in the risk of electric

shock. Consult a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet

is properly grounded.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent

removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not

attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is provided to

reduce the risk 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 tabletop where it can be pulled on by children

or tripped over.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified

personnel. In Latin America, by an authorized service center.
