If you use the grounding plug improperly, you risk electric shock.

Ask a qualified electrician or the Sears Service Department if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you wonder whether the appliance is properly grounded.

This appliance has a short power supply cord to reduce the risk of anyone’s tripping over or becoming entangled in the cord. You may use an extension cord if you are careful.

If you use an extension cord, be sure that:

•The extension cord has the same electrical rating as the appliance.

•The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

•The extension cord is a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

•The extension cord does not drape over a countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
