When using electrical appliances, always follow basic safety precautions to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, including the following:
• Read all instructions.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against electrical shock do not
immerse cord, plugs or appliance 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 and before cleaning the appliance.
• Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been damaged in any
manner. Contact consumer support at the
number listed in this manual.
• The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by the appliance manufacturer
may cause injuries.
• Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug
cord into the wall outlet.
POLARIZED PLUG (USA/MEXICO)
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.
GROUNDED PLUG (CANADA)
As a safety feature, this product is equipped with
a grounded plug, which will only fit into a three-
prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature. Improper connection of the grounding
conductor may result in the risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician if you are in doubt
as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a
tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of
the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or
electric shock, do not attempt to remove the
outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Repair should be done only by authorized
service personnel.
PLEASE READ AND SAVE THIS USE AND CARE BOOK.

ELECTRICAL CORD
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Extension cords are available and may be used
if care is exercised in their use.
3. If an extension cord is used:
a) The marked electrical rating of the extension
cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.
b) If the appliance is of the grounded type,
the extension cord should be a grounding
3-wire cord.
c) The longer cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the counter top or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
unintentionally tripped over.
Note: If the power cord is damaged, it should be
replaced by qualified personnel; in Latin America,
by an authorized service center.
