General Safety Instructions

1

THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED FOR

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

WARNING: Read and understand all safety precautions. Failure to follow all instructions described
in this user guide may result in electric shock, fire or serious personal injury. The warnings,
cautions and instructions discussed in this user guide cannot cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. It must be understood by the user that common sense and caution are
attributes which cannot be built into the appliance, but must be supplied by the user.

Electric Power

If an electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, the appliance may not operate
properly. The appliance should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other
operating appliances.

Polarized Plug

WARNING: This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other blade) to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This plug is a safety feature that is designed
to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.
If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do
not alter or dismantle the plug. Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature of the polarized plug. Handling the power supply
cord on this product may expose you to lead, a chemical
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord is not recommended for use with this
product, but if necessary, the marked electrical rating must be at least as great as that of
the product. If the product is of a 3-prong grounding type, the extension cord must be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord. Arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over or pulled.
