ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
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 t into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not t into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulated appliances are constrcuted througout with two separate layers
of electrical insulation or one single layer of reinforced insulation between the user
and the appliance’s electrical system. Products built with this insulation system are
not intended to be grounded. As a result, this appliance is equipped with a two-
prong plug which permits it to be used without concern for maintaining a ground
connection.
NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when
operating this appliance. The secondary insulation system is for protection
against injury resulting from a possible failure of the primary insulation within
the product.
CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
POWER SUPPLY CORD
1. If the power supply cord is too short, do not use an extension cord. Have a qualified
