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

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 cord set or extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the
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
unintentionally.

electrical circuit from other appliances.
