SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

Special Cord Set Instructions

A short supply power cord is provided to reduce the
hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord. An extension cord may be purchased
and used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord
is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord
must be at least 10 amps and 120 volts. The resulting
extending 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 accidentally.

POLARIZED PLUG INFORMATION.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
plug will fit in 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 modify
the plug in any way.
