WARNING! Shock Hazard: This product is provided with either a polarized (one wide blade) or grounded (2-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized or grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the counter- top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

If the power-supply cord is a grounding-type-3-wire cord with a grounding prong on the plug, the extension cord should also be a grounding-type-3-wire cord.
