SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. Longer extension cords are
available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
If a long extension cord is used, the
marked electrical rating of the extension
cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance, and the
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 animals, or tripped over.
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other) to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This plug will fit
in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not modify the
plug in any way.
