SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
Short Cord Instructions
CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an
extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
and 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.
Polarized Plug
As a safety feature this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only. 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 attempt to defeat this safety feature.
