IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

• Read all instructions.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or base unit in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts or cleaning.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number listed on the cover of this manual.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over the edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in microwave or heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot food, water, or other hot liquids.
• To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
  SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)
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.

ELECTRICAL CORD

• A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
  1. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
  2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
  3. 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 tripped over.
     Note : If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service center.
