The particular length of the power cord of this appliance is meant to reduce the risk of becoming tangled in it and/or tripping on it. Should the length of this cord be insufficient, use an approved extension cord. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord shall be equal to (or greater than) that of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounding type, the extension cord should be a grounding type, 3-wire cord. Lay the extension cord down so that it will not hang down from tabletop or counter tops where it can be pulled on by children or create risk of tripping over it.
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.
