Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into 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
attempt to modify the plug in any way.
Short Cord Instructions
A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is provided
to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord.
Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used, (1)
the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) 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.
