SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of someone
tripping or becoming entangled. Extension cords may be used if caution
is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension
cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop, where it can be tripped over or pulled on
by children.
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
As a safety feature, this plug will fit in 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.
