is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting
on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
• Avoid contacting moving parts.
• Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or
plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has
been dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact
Consumer Support at the toll-free number listed in
the warranty section. This appliance has important
markings on the plug blade. The attachment plug
or entire cordset (if plug is molded onto cord) is not
suitable for replacement. If damaged, the appliance
must be replaced.
• The use of attachments, including canning jars, not
recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire,
electric shock or injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
POLARIZED PLUG (120V models 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.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer
cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There
are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If an 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;
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type
3-wire cord; and
3) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where
it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
Note: If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty department listed in these
instructions.
Please Read and Save this Use and Care Book.
