3. To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

8. Do not use outdoors.

12. To disconnect, turn power control to off, then remove plug from wall outlet.

13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

14. Do not immerse in water.

15. 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 are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
    c) If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:

16. The marked electrical rating of the cord set of extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

17. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

18. Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top – If cook-top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-top and create a risk of electric shock.

19. Clean Cook-Top with Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn, some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
