SAFETY FEATURES
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.
TAM PER-R ESISTANT 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.
