POLARIZATION
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
A short supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is provided to reduce the
risk of becoming entangled or tripped over. Please use care when using a longer,
detachable power-supply cord or extension cord. If a longer, detachable power-
supply cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be tripped over unintentionally or played with by
children
