IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey
all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and
others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER”, “WARNING” or
“CAUTION”. These words mean:
DANGER
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.
WARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
CAUTION
You can be exposed to a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what
can happen if the instructions are not followed.
