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 in 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.

Short Cord Instructions

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

Do not use an extension cord with this product.

Electric Power

If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance
may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical
circuit from other appliances.

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of the
counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters
or placemats between the appliance and the finish of the counter top or
table top.

Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent blemishes
may occur or stains can appear.

ance unattended during use!
