SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use.

3. If a longer extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great

as the electrical rating of the appliance.

b. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter

top or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over
unintentionally.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other); follow
the instructions below:

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, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the
plug in any way.

This appliance is for household use only.
