SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks of becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available and may be
used if care is exercised.
If a long extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance. The longer 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.
NOTICE
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
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify
the plug in any way.
