2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used:
1) e marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2) e extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
3) e longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
-
e marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical
appliance.
WARNING -Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualied electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood or if doubting as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a

IS or WITH ALL FAULTS. The Warranty is invalid if the factory-applied serial number has
been altered or removed from the Product. This Warranty is valid only in the United
States, and only applies to Product if it was purchased and serviced in the United States.
The addition of equipment or features to the Product that are not manufactured or
recommended by Element could affect the intended function of the Product, and
therefore may void the Warranty. Furthermore, the exposure of the Product to chemicals,
heat, cold, humidity, or other elements can affect the Product components, and therefore,
the Warranty does not cover discoloration, fading, cosmetic changes, rust, or any
damages or failure related to any such items. The Warranty is contingent upon the
proper use, maintenance, and care of the Product. The Warranty may be void if the
Product has been used in a manner contradictory to, or in violation of, the terms of the
user’s manual, warnings, or instructions accompanying the Product.
THIS WARRANTY IS MADE IN LIEU OF AND SUPERSEDES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR
GENERAL USE, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, COLLATERAL, STATUTORY, OR PROVIDED
BY COMMON LAW, THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE, OR OTHERWISE. ELEMENT
FURTHER DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AFTER THE END OF THE WARRANTY TERM
DEFINED ABOVE. NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY OR GUARANTY GIVEN BY ANY
OTHER PERSON, FIRM, OR ENTITY WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCT SHALL BE BINDING
ON ELEMENT. REPAIR, REPLACEMENT, OR REFUND OF THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE
PRICE, AT ELEMENT’S SOLE DISCRETION, ARE THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF THE
CUSTOMER.
ELEMENT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
CAUSED BY THE USE, MISUSE, OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT. THESE INCLUDE,
BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, ANY DAMAGES IN THE FORM OF LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF
USE, LEGAL FEES, ECONOMIC LOSS, PERSONAL INJURIES, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES
CAUSED BY CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND THE CONTROL OF ELEMENT.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, ELEMENT’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO ANY
CUSTOMER SHALL NOT EXCEED THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT.
THIS WARRANTY SHALL NOT EXTEND TO ANYONE OTHER THAN THE ORIGINAL
CUSTOMER WHO PURCHASED THE PRODUCT, AND IS NOT
18

TRANSFERRABLE. NO PERSON IS AUTHORIZED TO ALTER, EXTEND, OR WAIVE THIS
WARRANTY OR ANY OF ITS TERMS OR CONDITIONS.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, or allow limitations on warranties, so the above limitations or exclusions may
not apply to you. This Warranty gives you specific rights, and you may have other rights,
which vary from state to state. The exclusions and limitations to the Warranty apply to
the maximum extent permitted by law and unless restricted or prohibited by law.
Where any term of this Warranty is prohibited by applicable law, it shall be null and void,
but the remainder of this Warranty shall remain in effect.
