SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
1. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) should be used
to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord.
2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may
be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
a. 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
b. 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.
4. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
As a safety feature, 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 attempt to defeat this safety feature.
