SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Polarized Plug: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce risk of electric shock, plug is intended to fit
into polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not try to modify the plug in any way.
Short Cord Instructions: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce
the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension
cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the 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 tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over unintentionally.
