Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet. The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance.

IMPORTANTS CONSEILS DE SÉCURITÉ Pendant l'utilisation d'appareils électriques, des mesures de sécurité élémentaires doivent toujours être respectées, incluant les suivantes : 1. Lire toutes les instructions. 2. Pour prévenir tout risque d'électrocution, ne pas immerger l'appareil ouvre-boîte, le cordon ou la fiche dans l'eau ou dans tout autre liquide. Ne pas faire fonctionner le couteau dans l'eau ou sous l'eau courante. 3. Une supervision vigilante est nécessaire pendant l'utilisation de tout appareil par ou près des enfants. 4. Débrancher le cordon de la prise dès la fin de l'utilisation, avant d'installer ou de retirer des pièces et avant le nettoyage. Débrancher lors du changement de lames. 5. Éviter de toucher des pièces mobiles. 6. N'utiliser aucun appareil dont le cordon ou la prise est endommagé, ou à la suite de toute anomalie de fonctionnement de l'appareil, d'une chute ou de tout autre dommage. Appeler le numéro sans frais du Service à la clientèle pour plus d'information à propos d'une vérification, d'une réparation ou d'un réglage électrique ou mécanique. 7. L'utilisation d'accessoires que le fabriquant ne vend pas ou ne recommande pas peut occasionner un incendie, l'électrocution ou des blessures. 8. Ne pas utiliser à l'extérieur. 9. Ne pas laisser pendre le cordon de la table ou du comptoir et éviter que le cordon n'entre en contact avec des surfaces chaudes, y compris la cuisinière. 10. Débrancher lors du changement de lames ou pour le nettoyage. 11. Les lames sont tranchantes. Manipuler avec soins. Débrancher l'appareil avant de manipuler les lames. Toujours manipuler les lames en tenant les mains éloignées de l'arête. (Voir l'illustration au chapitre « Assemblage et utilisation »). Toujours ranger les lames en dirigeant l'arête loin de vous. CONSERVER CES INSTRUCTIONS Autre consigne de sécurité pour le consommateur Cet appareil est conçu pour une utilisation domestique seulement. AVERTISSEMENT ! Risque d'électrocution : Cet appareil est doté d'une fiche polarisée (lame large) qui réduit le risque d'électrocution. Cette fiche s'insère d'une seule manière dans une prise polarisée. Ne pas transformer le dispositif de sécurité de la fiche en modifiant celle-ci de quelconque façon ou en utilisant un adaptateur. Si la fiche refuse de s'insérer, inversez-la. Si elle refuse toujours de s'insérer, faites remplacer la prise par un électricien. La longueur du cordon installé sur cet appareil a été sélectionnée afin de réduire les risques d'enchevêtrement ou de faux pas causés par un fil trop long. L'utilisation d'une rallonge approuvée est permise, si le cordon est trop court. Les caractéristiques électriques de la rallonge doivent être équivalentes ou supérieures aux caractéristiques de l'appareil. Prendre toutes les précautions nécessaires pour installer la rallonge de manière à ne pas la faire courir sur le comptoir ou sur une table pour éviter qu'un enfant ne tire sur le cordon ou trébuche accidentellement.
