2.  Make sure the appliance is unplugged when not in use, before putting on or taking

off parts, and before cleaning.

in water or other liquid.

Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children.
This appliance is not intended t be used by children.

Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.  Return appliance to the
nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment. 

6.

The use of attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may
cause injuries.
