SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For your protection, the Cuisinart® Milk Frother is supplied with a molded 3-prong grounding-type plug and should be used in combination with a properly connected grounding-type outlet as shown in the figure.

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long 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 3-wire  cord. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or animals, or tripped over unintentionally.
This appliance is for 120 volts only and should not be used with a converter. Failure to comply voids the warranty.
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Carefully unpack the unit and remove any packaging and promotional labels in or on the milk frother. Please clean the stainless steel cup and the stirrer in advance. And assemble it in place.
