SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
C A U T I O N : A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of
personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
c o rd. Extension cords are available from local hard w a re stores and may be
used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is re q u i red, special
c a re and caution is necessary. Also the cord must be: (1) marked with an
electrical rating of 125 V and at least 10 A, 1250 W, and (2) the cord must
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: This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider
than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this
plug is intended to 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 defeat this safety feature.
ELECTRIC POWER: If the electric circuit is overloaded with other
appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be
operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.
