SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Other consumer safety information

This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized

plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock.
The plug fits only one way into a polarized 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,
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. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved 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.

comptoir et éviter tout contact entre le cordon et les
surfaces chaudes incluant la cuisinière.

10. Pendant la transformation des aliments, garder les

INSTRUCTIONS

Autre consigne de sécurité
pour le consommateur

Cet appareil est conçu pour une utilisation domestique
seulement.

AVERTISSEMENT! Risque d’électrocution: Cet appareil est

doté d’une fiche polarisée (lame large) qui réduit le risque
d’électrocution. Cette fiche s’insère d’une seule manière
dans une prise polarisée. Ne pas transformer le dispositif
de sécurité de la fiche en modifiant celle-ci de quelconque
façon ou en utilisant un adaptateur. Si la fiche refuse de
s’insérer, inversez-la. Si elle refuse toujours de s’insérer,
faites remplacer la prise par un électricien.

La longueur du cordon installé sur cet appareil a été sélec­tionnée afin de réduire les risques d’enchevêtrement ou de
faux pas causés par un fil trop long. L’utilisation d’une ral­longe approuvée est permise, si le cordon est trop court.
Les caractéristiques électriques de la rallonge doivent être
équivalentes ou supérieures aux caractéristiques de l’ap­pareil. Prendre toutes les précautions nécessaires pour
installer la rallonge de manière à ne pas la faire courir sur
le comptoir ou sur une table pour éviter qu’un enfant ne
tire sur le cordon ou trébuche accidentellement.
