- NOTE--—
A. A short power-supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
B. Longer cord set or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
C. If a long cord set or extension cord is used,
(1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
(2) if the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-
type three-wire cord, and
(3) the longer 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 accidentally.
This appliance has a polarized plug: (one blade is wider than the other).
As a safety feature, 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 attempt to defeat this safety feature.
