IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

Read all instructions.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
This appliance shall not be used by children. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid. Do not operate knife in water or under running water.
Turn the appliance off, then unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Disconnect when changing blades. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
Avoid contacting moving parts.
Carefully route the power supply cord to avoid damage from the knife blades while cutting.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged supply cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Supply cord replacement and repairs must be conducted by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Contact Customer Service for information on examination, repair, or adjustment as set forth in the Limited Warranty.
The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces, including stove.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Check that the appliance is off before plugging cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn the control to off; then remove plug from wall outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.
Blades are sharp. Handle carefully. Always handle blades with hand away from cutting edge. (See illustration in “How to Assemble and Use.”) Always store blades with cutting edge away from you.

Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over. To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.
