POLARIZED PLUG
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.

removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt
to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should
be done only by authorized service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
1) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
2) Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3) If an extension cord is used:
a) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance;
b) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire
cord; and
c) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over.
Note: If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty department listed in these instructions.
