Additional Safeguards

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

Extension cord use

A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1)The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and

2)The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

3)If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding- type 3-wire cord.

This appliance must be grounded while in use.

CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to properly ground outlets only.
