SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is
provided to reduce the risks
of becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.

Longer extension cords are
available and may be used if
care is exercised.

If a long extension cord is used,
the marked electrical rating of
the extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance. The
longer cord should be arranged
so that it will not drape over the
countertop or table top where it
can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.

NOTICE

This appliance has a polarized
plug (one prong is wider than the
other). As a safety feature, this
plug will fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature.
