When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury
to persons, including the following:
OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! This product is provided with either a polarized (one
wide blade) or grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric
shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized or grounded
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying
the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have
an electrician replace the outlet.
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. Do not use an extension cord.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another
high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.
