SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS UNIT IS INTENDED FOR
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than
the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical
shock, this plug is intended to 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 attempt to defeat this safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely
into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

EXTENSION CORD USE

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or
tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with care; however, the marked
electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The
extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over.
