ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

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

EXTENSION CORDS

A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and

2) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or

tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on unintentionally

(especially by children).

POLARIZED PLUG

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.
