SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Note:

A. A short power cord is provided to reduce risks of becoming entangled in or tripping

over a longer cord. B. Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. C. If extension cord is used:

(1) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the

electrical rating of the appliance.

(2) The longer 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. The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other is). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in 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 override this safety feature.

WARNING:

• Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with this product, will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
