damage to persons or property.
2. All users of this appliance must read and understand this Owner's Manual
before operating or cleaning this appliance.
3. When using this appliance, provide adequate air space above and on all
sides for air circulation. Do not allow this appliance to touch curtains, wall
coverings, clothing, dish towels or other flammable materials during use.

Polarized Plug
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.
Short Cord Instructions
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. 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 extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over unintentionally.
CAUTION: To prevent plasticizers to migrate from the finish of the counter top
or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or place-mats
between the appliance and the finish of the counter top or table top.
Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent blemishes may
occur or stains can appear.
