IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
4.
Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other);
follow the instructions below:
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.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from it
being grabbed by children, and becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord.
2. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
3. If a longer 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.) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped
over unintentionally.
