• Do not put hard non-kitchen waste such as plastic, glass, big bones, shells, etc.
• Do not use this machine outdoors to avoid excessive temperature difference between outside and inside the product, resulting in water seepage of the filter.
• Do not use it under a shelf or at a place with a low ceiling, as high-temperature operation will produce water vapor.
