WARNING-- To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious personal injury and property damage please note the following:

• This appliance is not intended for use by children. Keep the appliance out of the reach of children and pets. Extra caution is necessary when using this appliance near children.

• Do not place appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner, in a heated oven, or other heated surfaces.
• Use extreme caution when moving an appliance containing food or liquids. Spilled food can cause serious burns.
• Use the appliance in a well-ventilated area. Keep at least 4-6 inches of space on all sides of the product to allow adequate air circulation.
• Use appliance on a table or sturdy flat surface. Keep the appliance away from curtains, wall coverings, clothing, dishtowels, or other flammable materials.
• Do not plug or unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet with a wet hand.
• This appliance is intended solely for non-commercial, non-industrial, household use in cooking of food for human consumption; do not use the appliance outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter where it may be tripped over or pulled.
• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces.
• Do not operate the appliance empty or if it has a damaged power cord or plug, if wires are exposed, it malfunctions, it is dropped or damaged, or if the motor housing is exposed to water.
• This appliance has no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to examine or repair this appliance yourself. Please review the Warranty Policy on Page 6.
• Do not overload wall outlet, extension cords, or integral convenience holders, as this can result in a fire or electric shock.
• Do not put any stress on the power cord where it connects to the appliance, as the power cord could fray and break.
• Do not pour water directly into the base: place water and ingredients in Ceramic Pot only.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord is not recommended for use with this appliance, but if one must be used:

• The marked electrical rating must be at least as great as that of the appliance.
• Arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over or pulled.

WARNING: This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other blade) to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This is a safety feature. The plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless you can fully insert the plug into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
