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 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;

2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the
extension cord should be a grounding-type
3-wire cord; and
