IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDES
When using your electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric hazard and injury to persons,
including the following.
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surface. Use handles or buttons of control panel. The unit
body will become very hot during long-time using, handle it carefully.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
4. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or cooker
body in water or other liquid.
5. Unplug from outlet when not being used and before cleaning. Allow to
cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appli-
ance.
6. 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.

manufacturer may cause injuries.

11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot
oil or other hot liquids.

being grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or tripping over a
longer cord.

not attempt to modify the plug in any way
