A short cord set is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from

becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should

be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

the other). To reduce risk of electric shock, this plug will fit

into 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 appliance plug in

any way.
