IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.

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.

• 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. Call the appropriate toll-free number on the front 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 edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• To disconnect, remove plug from wall outlet.

• Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.
• The appliance is only to be operated in the closed position.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This product is for household use only.

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.

ELECTRICAL CORD

1. A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. If a long detachable power cord or extension cord is used:
   a) 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.
   b) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
   c) 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 cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.
