WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND INJURY TO PERSONS, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

Read all instructions before operating. Detailed instructions are available online at drbrownsbaby.com/customer-support and dr.browns.co/intl
Failure to operate the product correctly can result in damage to the product, personal property and cause serious injury.
Ensure that the wall outlet voltage matches the voltage of the appliance.
Do not operate appliance after it malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
If the supply cord or plug is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
Place appliance on a level, heat-resistant surface.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
Do not let cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER.
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
Do not use outdoors.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before adding water.
Do not spill liquid on cord or plug.
Do not move appliance while in use or when it contains hot liquids.
To operate, plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, ensure the unit is off, then remove plug from wall outlet.
DO NOT open lid or reach over the appliance while in use, as steam will cause burns and serious injuries.
DO NOT touch hot surfaces, including lid and interior parts, during use. When the cycle is complete, open lid by front tab and carefully remove contents by hand or with lift-out basket.
Do not add water directly to warming chamber.
Never freeze glass containers, as glass may break.
Before feeding, pour a few drops of contents from bottle or food jar onto the back of your hand to test the temperature.
Food should not be heated for too long.
Always test content temperature before feeding your baby.
Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
Unplug from outlet and allow to cool before cleaning and descaling the unit.
Beware of steam and avoid spilling or splashing water on yourself when removing contents.
The heating element surface is subject to residual heat after use.
Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.

Appliances are not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.
NOT FOR SPACE HEATING PURPOSES.
Do not attempt disassembly. The use of accessory attachments is not recommended by Handi-Craft Company and may cause injuries.
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.
A short power-supply cord (or short detachable power-supply cord) is provided to reduce the risks 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.

If an extension cord is used:

The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3- wire cord; and
The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on unintentionally (especially by children).
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
