1. Read all directions carefully. This goes without saying, but plenty of people never even look at the safety reminders or only superficially glanced over them.
2. Do not lean on hot surfaces of the device. This might be a 'duh' moment, but this is a reminder to be careful when operating around this device. Always use the plastic arm or crank and a potholder when moving the baking pan. Do not close down or obstruct the steam vent openings under any condition.
3. To protect against electric shock, do not damage the power cable. Keep the power cable away from water or other liquids.
