• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

• Do not open pressurized (aerosol-type) cans.

• Do not open cans of flammable liquids such as lighter fluids.

• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)

their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This product is for household use only.

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
modif y 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

a) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from

becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

b) Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their

use.

c) If an extension cord is used:

1) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as

great as the electrical rating of the appliance; and

2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter

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

Note: If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty
depar tment listed in these instructions.
