When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury
to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into
a 120 V AC electrical outlet.

hang over the edge of a table or counter. To avoid fire hazard,
NEVER put the cord under rugs, near heat registers, radiator,
stoves, or heaters.

by the plug and not the cord.
7. Avoid contact with moving parts. DO NOT operate without fan
grills properly in place.

motor fan fails to rotate, after the appliance malfunctions, or if it
has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to
