ADDTIONAL SAFEGUARDS

SEE CARE & MAINTENANCE BEFORE USE

Electrical Information
This appliance is supplied with a short power cord to reduce the risk of entanglement or tripping. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. 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. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it could be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. The appliance should be operated on a separate electrical outlet from other operating appliances due to wattage limitations. Certain models of the appliances may have a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of an electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit properly, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
