POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug — one blade is wider than the other. As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it and try again. If it still does not fit, contact an electrician. Do not attempt to

defeat this safety feature.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the bottom cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the bottom cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

The cord length of this appliance was selected to reduce safety hazards that may occur with a longer cord. If more cord length is needed, an extension cord may be used. It should be rated not less than 10 amperes, 120 volts, and should have Underwriters Laboratories listing. When using a longer cord, be sure that it does not drape over a working area or dangle where it could be pulled on or tripped over.
