POLARIZED PLUG
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
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
3) 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 department
listed in these instructions.
