Read these instructions carefully and retain them for future use. If this product is passed to a third party, then these instructions must be included.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons including the following:

• Read all instructions.

• To protect against electric shock, do not place cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.
• 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 an authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
• The use of an accessory not evaluated for use with this appliance may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.

• This product is for household use only.
• Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off” then remove plug from wall outlet.
• A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
• Do not immerse in water.

The water level must be between the MIN and MAX marks. If the appliance is overfilled, boiling water may spill and may scald the user.
