NOTE: To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, this plug will fit in an outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit in the outlet,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power
supply cord is too short, have a qualified

the risk resulting from becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer detachable power supply cords
or extension cords are available and may
be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a longer detachable power supply cord
or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the
cord set or extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance.
• The cord should be arranged so that
it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
