IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following: s Read all instructions before using the appliance. s Do not use in garages or use near any flammable liquids or gases. s Use appliance only for its intended use. s To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. s Never yank the cord to disconnect from outlet; instead grasp plug and pull to disconnect. s Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let appliance cool completely before putting away. When storing appliance, loop cord around cord storage wrap on back of appliance. s Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord, or if the appliance has been dropped or damaged.

Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when the appliance is used. s Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. s Burns could occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use care when you turn a steam appliance upside down - there may be hot water in the reservoir. s To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit. s To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. s If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 12-ampere rated cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat.
