that needs to be removed before first use. Use
caution when removing.

and H-1029 do not have cutting blade.

only conducted once arm is closed.
CAUTION! To provide continued protection
against risk of electric shock, connect to
properly grounded outlets only.
WARNING! Potential risk of fire or injury. Risk of
electric shock if unit is overturned, overfilled or
if power is not disconnected to clean the unit
or to replace its heating element. Disconnect
the plug from the power source while cleaning
the item or changing its heating element. Keep
children away from this product.

hear a "click" after pressing arm down. If no
"click", see troubleshooting guide for more
details.
