6a. (Applies to customers outside of the U.S.). If the supply cord of this appliance is dam- aged, it must be replaced by a repair facility appointed by the manufacturer, because special tools are required. Please consult your local Chef’sChoice® distributor.
7.CAUTION! “This appliance may be fitted with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will 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 modify the plug in anyway.”
