SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

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

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

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, and the
longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where is can be pulled on by children or animals, or tripped over.

NOTICE:

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in 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 modify the plug in any way.
