◆ Liquids such as water, coffee or tea are able to be overheated beyond
the boiling point without appearing to be boiling.
◆ Do not use narrow necked containers to boil or reheat liquids.
◆ To reduce the risk of injury, stir the liquid several times before heating.
◆ The liquid may splash out during or after heating or when adding
ingredients (instant coffee, etc) resulting in possible harm or
injury to persons.
◆ After heating, allow the container to stand in microwave oven for at
least 40 seconds before removing the container.
◆ Do not heat water and oil, or a fat together which may cause a
violent eruption.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING – Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of
electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt exist as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded.
◆ Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too
short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the
appliance.
