SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power cord is pro ided to reduce the risk resulting from
entanglement or tripping o er a longer cord. Longer
detachable power supply cords are a ailable and may be used
if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power
cord or extension cord is used (1) the marked electrical rating
of the extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape o er the counter top or
table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped o er
unintentionally. The electrical rating of the appliance is listed on
the bottom of the unit. If the appliance is of the grounded type,
the extension cord should be a grounded type 3-wire cord.
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, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
