IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using an appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING
• Only use an appliance for its intended use.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in water or
other liquids.
• Always turn the appliance OFF before plugging or unplugging the appliance from
the electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect the appliance from the
electrical outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the
appliance.
• Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the appliance cool completely before
putting the appliance away.
• Always disconnect the appliance from the electrical outlet before filling the
appliance with water, emptying the water from the appliance, and when the
appliance is not in use.
• Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or in the event the appliance
has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
disassemble the appliance. Take it to a qualified serviceman for examination
and repair. Incorrect assembly might result in a risk of electric shock when the
appliance is used after reassembly.
• Close supervision is required for any appliance used by or near children. Do not
leave the appliance unattended while the appliance is connected.
• Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution
when you turn an appliance upside down – there might be hot water in the
reservoir.
• To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an appliance on the same circuit with
another high wattage appliance.
• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an ampere rating
equal to or greater than the maximum rating of the appliance shall be used. A
cord rated for less amperage can result in a risk of fire or electric shock due to
overheating. Care shall be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled
or be tripped over.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
