SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug will t on a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do
not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
Short Cord Instructions – a short power supply cord is provided to
reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. Extensions cords may be used if care is exercised in their
use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The
longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

indiquées doivent être au moins de même niveau que celles de l'appareil
électrique. Le l plus long doit être placé pour qu'il ne pende pas sur le bord
d'une table où il pourrait être tiré par un enfant ou vous faire trébucher.
