This appliance is supplied with a short power cord to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or
tripping over. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is
used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance, and a longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug was designed to fit into a polarized outlet in only one direction. If the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, do not attempt to force it or modify it in any way. Simply reverse the plug and
insert. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
