OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This product is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one
wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adaptor. If the
plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an elec-
trician replace the outlet.
The motor of this electric knife does not require any lubrication
or oil. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized
service center. Call the toll-free customer assistance number for
information.
