CAUTION: This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other blade) as a safety feature 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.
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.
