Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for indoor household use only.

Short Power Supply Cord Information

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in
or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in
their use.

If an 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 cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where
it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. If the appliance is of
the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from
electrical shock. The appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong
grounding-type plug to fit the proper grounding-type receptacle. The appliance
has a plug that looks like sketch A. An adaptor, sketch B, should be used for
connecting sketch A-type plug to two-ground receptacles. The grounding tab,
which extends from the adaptor, must be connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box as shown in sketch C, using a metal screw.
