Applica SM-1 - Manual (Page 2)

When using electrical appliances, especially when children are present, basic safety
precautions should always be followed, including the following:
■ READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
■ Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
■ To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse cord, plug, or the 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.
■ Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance
to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or electrical
or mechanical adjustment.
■ The use of attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause hazards.
■ Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. Do not let the cord hang over the edge
of table or counter, as it could be pulled off.
■ Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
■ Use extreme caution when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot
liquids.
■ To use, plug cord into electrical outlet. To disconnect, grasp plug and remove from
outlet. Do not pull on the cord.
■ Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this
plug fits in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, reverse the
plug and try again. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat
this safety feature.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk 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 longer detachable power supply cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical
rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
and (2) the cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
