SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Short Cord Instructions

- Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
- If a longer extension cord is used:
- The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

DO NOT DRAPE CORD! KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN!
