This appliance is intended for household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug
has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce
the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug
by modifying the plug in any way.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer
cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may
be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to
or greater than the rating of the ice shaver. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the counter-
top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse motor
housing, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance used by or
near children.
4. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on or
taking off parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contacting moving parts. Keep fingers out of discharge
opening.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or
after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in
any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, repair or electrical or mechanical
adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by Hamilton
Beach/ Proctor-Silex, Inc. may cause fire, electric shock, or
injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.
10. The blade is sharp. Handle carefully. Store out of reach of children.
11. Do not attempt to defeat the interlock mechanism.
12. Never place fingers or other utensils into discharge areas.
13. Check ice chamber for presence of foreign objects before using.
