Plug and cord instructions

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into 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 modify the plug in any way.
A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used,
- the marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
- the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
