SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
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 into 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.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are avail-
able and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an 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, and the
cord should be arranged so it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be tripped over or pulled on by children.
