2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any
are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line
cord replaced.

stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and
break.

OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
