followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons,
including the following:

❑

Read all instructions.

❑

Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handle or knobs.

❑

To protect against electric shock, do not place cord, plug or appliance in

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). 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.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning : This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of
the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the
outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only

by

authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

The cord of this appliance was selected to reduce the possibility of tangling in or tripping
over a longer cord. If more length is needed, use an extension cord rated no less than
15 amperes. (For 220 volts rated products, use an extension cord rated no less than
6 amperes.) When using an extension cord, do not let it drape over the working area
or dangle where someone could accidentally trip over it. Handle cord carefully for longer
life; avoid jerking or straining it at outlet and appliance connections.

NOTE: If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer
or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
