Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into a power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

A short cord is provided to reduce the hazard of becoming entangled or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if the electrical rating is equal to or greater than the rating of the mixer. Use an exten- sion cord rated 10 amperes or greater. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
