IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (cont'd)
18. To disconnect, turn the temperature control knob to the ”OFF” position, then
remove plug from wall outlet.
19. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall cabinet.
When storing in an appliance garage always unplug the unit from the electrical

the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into an AC electrical
outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any other electrical outlet.
WARNING: 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.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply
cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their
use. If a longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and:
2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
If the appliance is grounded, the extension cord should be a 3-wire grounding-type
cord.
