Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is equipped with a grounded-type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug).
This plug will only fit into an electrical outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is
a safety feature. If the plug should fail to fit the outlet, contact an electrician
to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
This is the purpose of the grounding pin as part of the 3-prong plug.

Short Cord Instructions

A short 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 extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. Since the
appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding
type 3 wire cord.

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers to migrate from the finish of the counter
top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or place­mats between the appliance and the finish of the counter top or table top.

Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent blemishes may
occur or stains can appear.
