Please follow the instructions below to ensure the safe use of the power cord.

• This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one
blade that is wider than the other. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical

purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.

•You may use an extension cord, if necessary, but be certain to follow
these guidelines:
