5. Keep the cord away from heated

surfaces. Do not allow cord to contact heat-

ed surfaces. Do not pull or twist cord. Let

appliance cool completely before

putting away. Loop cord loosely around

appliance when storing.

6. This appliance has a polarized plug (one

blade is wider than the other). As a safety fea-

ture, 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 attempt

to defeat this safety feature.

7. Never drop or insert any object into any

opening or hose.
