IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
(cont.)
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
A. To avoid a circuit overload when using this product, do not operate another high-
wattage product on the same electrical circuit.
B. If an extension cord is used with this product, a 10-amp extension cord should be
used. Extension cords rated for less amperage may overheat. The marked electrical
rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the product.
SHORT CORD PURPOSE
NOTE:
A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2) the extension cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can
unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by
children or pets.
POLARIZED PLUG
If this appliance is equipped with a
polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other),
please follow the below instructions:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with
an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not
alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not
attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
PLASTICIZER WARNING
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of the counter top or
table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coaster or place mats between the
appliance and the finish of the counter top or table top.
Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken. Permanent blemishes may occur or
stains can appear.
