Models KHB2561 & KHB2571:
Volts: 120 V.A.C.
Hertz: 60 Hz
NOTE: Models KHB2561 & KHB2571 have
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this plug will t in an outlet only one way. If
the plug does not t in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician. Do not modify the plug
in any way.
A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
If a long extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• The cord should be arranged so it will not
drape over the counter top or tabletop
where it can be pulled by children or
tripped over unintentionally.
