NOTES ON THE PLUG
For safety reasons, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug can only be inserted one way into the electrical outlet.
If the plug does not fit correctly into the outlet, reverse the plug and insert into the outlet. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician for further assistance. Do not attempt to modify the
plug in any way.
NOTES ON THE CORD
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over
a longer cord.
AN EXTENSION CORD MAY BE USED IF CARE IS EXERCISED IN ITS USE:
:::Minimize the risk of overheating by using the shortest UL or ETL listed cord possible.
:::The marked electrical rating must be at least as great as that of the product.
:::Never use a single extension cord to operate more than one appliance.
:::Arrange the longer cord so that it will not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be
tripped over, snagged, or pulled on unintentionally (particularly by children).
:::DO NOT alter the plug. DO NOT attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
ELECTRIC POWER
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, the appliance may not operate properly.
