RECAUTIONS
• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric
parts in water or other liquids.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
• Do not use electric parts outdoors, or place them on or near a gas or electric
burner, in a heated oven, refrigerator or freezer.
• Always unplug the appliance from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
Allow unit to cool completely before putting or taking off parts and before
cleaning.
• This appliance has a short cord as a safety precaution to avoid pulling, tripping or
entanglement. Position the cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the
counter, table or other area.
• While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, make
sure the cord has the same or higher wattage as the food chopper (wattage is
stamped on the underside of the base). To avoid pulling, tripping or
entanglement, position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the edge
of the counter, table or other area.
• Use an electrical outlet that accommodates the polarized plug on the food
chopper. On a polarized plug, one blade of the plug is wider than the other. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet or extension cord,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit fully, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not alter the plug.
• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or
extension cord feels hot.
• Keep the cord away from hot parts of the appliance and hot surfaces during
operation.
• Do not attempt to use a voltage converter or other device to adapt your food
chopper to a different outlet or voltage, as damage will occur.
