SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Polarized Plug: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the

other). To reduce risk of electric shock, plug is intended to t into polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not try to modify the plug in any way.

Short Cord Instructions: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the

risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension
cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the
marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over
the tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
