OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: If the plug on this appliance does not fit

in your outlet, do not modify the plug, and do not use an adapter.
Have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload do not use another high­wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appiliance.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce
the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
If a longer cord is necessary, a grounded type 3-wire extension cord
may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be
equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be
taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
accidentally tripped over.
