including a microwave.

c. Do not use a cracked decanter or a decanter with a loose or weakened handle.
d. Do not clean the decanter with cleansers, steel wool pads or other abrasive materials.

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

1. A short, power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. An extension cord may be purchased and used if care is exercised in its use.

3. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be
at least 10 amps and 120 volts. The resulting extended cord must be arranged so that
it will not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children
or tripped over accidentally.

* This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
