Important Safeguards

PLEASE SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

© 2013 Montgomery Ward, Inc. All rights reserved.

®

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into an AC
electrical outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any other electrical outlet.

CORD PLUG

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. 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 into
the outlet, reverse the plug and try again. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.

2. To inser t plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.

3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.

4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any
are found, this indicates that the appliance should not be used. Please call our
toll-free number for return and replacement instructions.

5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress
on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

An extension cord is not recommended for use with this appliance.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR
IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

IMPORTANT

During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight odor.
This is normal and should quickly disappear. It will not recur after appliance has
