IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed:
1. Read all instructions.
When reading, please refer to the page of illustrations to relate the pictures and text. The
appliance should be used strictly in accordance with these instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles.
3. To prevent fire, electric shock and injury, do not immerse cord, plugs, base or appliance in water
or other liquids.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Please use and
keep the appliance and its supply cord out of the reach of children. Warn other users, especially
children, of the possible dangers (e.g.: escaping steam, hot water, hot lid, etc).
5.
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.
6. Do not operate any appliance which has been damaged in any way or has a defective cord or
plug. Return it to the nearest authorized service center for examination, repair or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result
in fire, electric shock or injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. For corded models : always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the
wall outlet. For all models : to disconnect, switch-off the appliance and then remove plug from
wall outlet.
12. Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
13. High temperatures are generated during use which could cause burns. Always lift the pasta
cooker by the handle.
14. Do not place the base of your appliance in a metal tray. If water spills over into the tray, and a
build-up occurs, it could become dangerous to touch.
15. Position the pasta cooker to the rear of work surfaces to prevent overhanging of the power
cord. Water can remain hot for a considerable time after boiling and can present a scald hazard.
16. WARNING : this appliance must never be filled on its base.
17. An electrical appliance should not be used if it has been dropped at any time. In such cases,
please contact your authorized service center.
18. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
19. Do not use the appliance for more than two consecutive operating cycles. Ensure that the
appliance is allowed to cool for at least 30 minutes after every two consecutive batches.
20. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot liquids.

rating of the appliance,
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type
