Additional Safeguards

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

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

EXTENSION CORDS

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

1)The extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

2)If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, an extension cord rated a minimum of 15 ampere, 14 gage cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat.

3)An extension cord with the power cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where they can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded while in use.

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