IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING
PREVENT INJURIES! CAREFULLY READ ALL
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE!
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should be followed, including the following:
• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the
cord, plug, or the main body of the appliance or expose
the electrical components to water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by or near children.
• Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet when not
in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before handling,
putting on or taking off parts, cleaning, or storing.
• Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged
cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has
been damaged or dropped. Return the appliance to
an authorized service facility for examination, repair, or
adjustment.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended for
use in this manual may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors
• Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of a 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, removing
accessories, or disposing of hot grease.
• Always make sure the plug is attached to the appliance
first. Then, plug the cord into a wall outlet. To disconnect,
turn any control to “off” and then remove the plug from
the outlet.
• Do not use this appliance for anything other than its
intended use.
• Extension cord:
• A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the
risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
• Extension cords are available and may be used if care
is exercised in their use.
• The marked electrical rating of the extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance.
• The power cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop, where
it can be pulled over by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
• A fire may occur if this appliance is covered by or
touching flammable material, including curtains,
draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation. Do not
store anything on top of the appliance when in operation.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break
off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating risks of
electric shock.
• Extreme caution should be exercised when using
containers constructed from materials other than metal
or glass.
• Do not store any materials other than accessories
included in this manual in this appliance when not in use.
• Do not place your appliance on a cooktop,
even if the cooktop is cool, because you
could accidentally turn the cooktop on,
causing a fire, damaging the appliance,
your cooktop, and your home.
• Do not place or use this appliance near water.
• When cooking, do not place the appliance against a
wall or within 6 inches of other appliances. Do not place
anything on top of the appliance. Always operate the
appliance on a horizontal surface that is level, stable,
and noncombustible.
• Before using your appliance on any countertop surface
or other fragile surface, such as a glass tabletop,
check with your countertop manufacturer or installer
for recommendations about using appliances on your
surfaces. Some manufacturers and installers may
recommend protecting your surface by placing a hot pad
or trivet under the appliance for heat protection. Your
manufacturer or installer may recommend that hot pans,
pots, or electrical appliances should not be used directly
on top of the countertop. If you are unsure, place a trivet
or hot pad under the appliance before using it.
• 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.
