THIS UNIT IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
This appliance has a polarized alternating current plug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, as a safety
feature, this plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not insert fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still fails to t,
contact a qualied electrician.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE.
EXTENSION CORD USE
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord
may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the
electrical rating of the cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
