SHO T CO D INST UCTIONS
A. We do not recommend using an extension cord with
this device.
B. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary,
1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the machine,
2) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the counter top or table top where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over.
C. This machine 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.
In the interest of improving products, Krups reserves the
right to change specifications without prior notice.
