Safety and Warnings
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be taken,
including the following:
· Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
· To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do not immerse
cord, plug, or power base unit in water or other liquids.
· Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
· 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.
· 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.
· Do not use outdoors.
· Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.
