This appliance is intended for household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug
has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce
the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do
not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.
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 can opener. 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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, keep hair and loose
clothing away from lid opener and other moving parts of the can
opener while using.

such as a stove, or above a sink or basin.

on previous page). Place spacer(s) on top of can opener
(if applicable).
