SHORT CORD INSTRUCTION

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

Ashort power supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord is available and may be
used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical
rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding 3-wire cord. The extension 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.

POLARIZED PLUG

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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical
shock. The appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding­type plug to fit the proper grounding-type receptacle. The appliance has a plug that
looks like sketch A. An adaptor, sketch B, should be used for connecting sketch-A plug
plugs to two-plugs to two-prong receptacles. The grounding tab, which extends from
the adaptor, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box as shown in sketch C using a metal screw.

This appliance is for household use only.
