ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Volts: 120 V
Hertz: 60 Hz
NOTE: This Food Chopper has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician. Do not modify the
plug in any way.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power
supply cord is too short, have a qualied
electrician or serviceman install an outlet near
the appliance.
A short power supply cord (or detachable
power supply cord) should be used to reduce
the risk resulting from becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord.
