SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts
inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. A short power cord is
provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping
over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with care. However,
the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of this appliance. The extension cord should not be allowed to
drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children
or tripped over.

POLARIZED PLUG

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 one way. If
the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the

plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into
the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
