SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to 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 or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord or detachable power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long detachable power- supply cord or extension cord is used on short-cord models:

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;
When the product is of the grounded type, the extension cord shall be a grounding type 3-wire cord; and
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 unintentionally.

Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord.
Do not wrap the power cord around the main body of the appliance during or after use
