Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household
use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance
has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that
reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug
fits only one way into a polarized outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
plug by modifying the plug in any way or
by using an adapter. If the plug does not
fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, have an electrician replace
the outlet.

8. The use of attachments not
recommended or sold by the
appliance manufacturer may cause
fire, electric shock, or injury.

or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
11. Do not attempt to defeat the interlock
mechanism.
12. Never place fingers or other utensils into

The length of the cord used on this
appliance was selected to reduce the
hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping
over a longer cord. If a longer cord is
necessary, an approved extension cord
may be used. The electrical rating of the
extension cord must be equal to or greater
than the rating of the appliance. Care must
be taken to arrange the extension cord so
that it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or accidentally tripped over.
