POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS
Some appliances are equipped with a polarized plu (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plu
will fit into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plu does not
properly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit,
contact a competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify
the plug in any way.
For appliances equipped with a standard plu , simply insert the plu
into the outlet without payin attention to the way you plu it.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resultin
from becomin entan led in, or trippin over a lon er cord. The use
of an extension cord is not recommended.
However, if you make use of an extension cord, care is to be
exercised in their use:
• The electrical ratin of the extension cord should be at least
that of the appliance. If the electrical ratin of the extension
cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.
• The resultin extended cord should be arran ed so that it will
not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over.

INFORMACIÓN SOBRE EL ENCHUFE POLARIZADO
Al unos aparatos están provistos con un enchufe polarizado (una
pata es más ancha que la otra). Para reducir el ries o de choque
eléctrico, este enchufe calza en el tomacorriente polarizado de una
sola manera. Si el enchufe no cabe totalmente en el tomacorriente,
ire el enchufe. Si aún así no calza, consulte a un servicio técnico
cualificado. No intente anular esta característica de seguridad.
Para los aparatos provistos con un enchufe clásico, basta con
insertar el enchufe en la toma de corriente.
INSTRUCCIONES DEL CABLE
